I am trying to fine tune a lathe setup sheet such that it spits out static tool projections automatically. There is obviously a value in Mastercam (2023) for tool projection adjustment, I just can't figure out what the datafield is for it in ActiveReports, or if there even is one. I've tried 'PROJECTION', 'Projection', 'ToolProjection', 'ToolAdjustment', etc. My current work-around is to use a PDF editor and manually entire that field. This kind of feels like it defeats the purpose of having an automatically generated setup sheet though. So, if anyone has figured this out I'd appreciate some insight! PS: Based on an older post on the forum I downloaded an XML viewer to try to find this data in the XML file, but the XML file that gets generated looks like it only contains the exact data that I'm currently using in the ActiveReport. It doesn't retain everything else (incl. datafields that I know work, but am not using.). If there is some XML default file somewhere that shows the path to all of the data I would scour that for the info I'm looking for, but I cannot find such a thing.

I recently changed my post from: #Machine axis switches, initial old_new_sw : 1 #Switch old (6T), new (0T+) cycle formats, 0=old, 1=new to: #Machine axis switches, initial old_new_sw : 0 #Switch old (6T), new (0T+) cycle formats, 0=old, 1=new because my HAAS lathe uses single line canned cycles, which worked to fix that but now my x values all post inverted. ex. if drawn to X1.0, Z-.5 it posts, X-1.0, Z-.5 How can I get these to post normally? edit1: i tried switching back that line and it is still posting inverted, i must've changed something else...

That'll work! Thanks Jeff!

I am trying to add a literal quote to a string of text, ie. " Check reference "b" " But I cannot figure out what the escape character is
