Well an array of operation ID's won't do the trick. There isn't (at least i'm not aware of) any way to check which group an operation belongs to. My current script works perfect, but I just can't tell which group an operation belongs to. The method that Hardmill has posted well, I don't personally know enough about Mastercam to take any useful knowledge from. PLUS I don't have Mastercam on my home computer.. So making a script for for it is quite the task . Ron, I am Marks son. I am making this script for you guys. (Just in case you didn't know.)

Could you explain that in a bit more detail for me? I'm not a Mastercam user really, just a programmer that got "hired" to write a script for my father. I have it all worked out except this last little problem... He says he understands that, but he hasn't helped me with it yet so... Could you explain in a bit more detail ?

Hey this might be a bit off-topic in this post, but i'm having an issue with setup sheets. Right now i'm using vbscript to make an excel setup sheet, and i'm trying to group up the differnet groups and all the operations inside of those groups.. I can get all the operations and all that, but how do you figure out what operation goes to what group? All i've seen is people list out all the tools/operations, but they don't sort them out by group or anything of the sort.. I need a way to sort the operations in each group. Group 1: Operation 1 = Tool 1 Operation 2 = Tool 2 Group 2: Operation 1 = Tool 2 Operation 2 = Tool 1 When you pull the data from mastercam, it would just be like Operation 1 = Tool 1 Operation 2 = Tool 2 Operation 3 = Tool 2 Operation 4 = Tool 1 How can I make it sort that to tell me which group they belong to? I just don't think it is possible, please someone proove me wrong!!

well what i'm trying to acheive is this: in code you can get a list of all the tools used in the entire project. And it gives a list like so (tool numbers): 1 2 3 4 1 2 7 Where 1, 2, 3, and 4 are in group 1, and 1, and 2 are in group2. 7 is in group 3. What i'm trying to figure out is how to see what the group the operation (tool) belongs to.. Is there some sort of function like GetGroupFromOperationID() or something like that? that will return what group an operation belongs to?

And no one knows the answer to this?
