I am trying to do something MUCH simpler than Josh but, so far, no luck; maybe someone can help:

I'd like to append an '*' at the beginning and end of the Tool Manufacturer field on the X+ Tool List so that it will scan when I convert it to bar code.

Any ideas??

Thanks

I just wanted to share how I use X+ to make setup Sheets.

 

I personally like using X+ Tool List, not the X+ Setup Sheet. Problem is I like things formated differently for Lathe and Mill. I also needed custom Icons for the toolbar to distinguish between the two.

 

So here's what I did....

I know this is a very old post but I'm hoping you can tell me how you were able to incorporate the '*' at the beginning and end.

Thanks,

Got the barcode to scan, needed *116253.ND* not 116253.ND, must be an open and close?...

Hi All,

Was there ever any resolution to this? I am trying to get my Tool List to include barcode for individual tools. I believe I just need to update XSETUPSHEET.CSS to show a barcode font but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Todd G.

I want to be able to type the filename (11265G1.NC for example) in the field next to "NC Filename" and have the text output as a Barcode. I have accomplished this by entering the following in the field "<@font size="6" face="Abri Barcode39Wa">116253.ND<@font>" (remove @) This works but for one is cumbersome to change the filename and also the barcode looks good yet doesn't scan.

 

While I'm at it.... It would be nice to pull the "toolpath group" name and auto fill the field as I name the groups the actual NC filename.

 

Is this feasable? I know nothing about .xss so I don't know where to start.

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

 

 

We are in the process of installing Autocrib hardware and software. We want to control the issue of our tools by using bar coded tool lists. We have X+ installed and I've found the XSetupsheet.css file that controls the format of the tool list; however, for some reason it is not recognizing the bar code font we have installed in our system.

I'm interested in any ideas to make this work.

Thanks!
