  1. Perfect, thanks @Werktuigbouwer for the input. I will give it a try and see what happens. We have been swamped with work and I'm the only programmer/operator/IT but this gives some ideas of where to look. I was trying to juggle a few of the comments around but it kept giving me everything but what I wanted. haha. BTW I think my formatting was off and that is why I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted... So thanks for the input! @Grimes HAHA I change my material LOL
  2. Thanks for the reply Craig, I attached my header code with a jpeg of what I'm looking for. Basically I want to take machine name and group comment and move it to the header and remove it from above every tool. I'm just playing around with some formatting and set up sheets to make it easier for operators as we do a lot of custom work, small runs and lots of revision changes. We also have a lot of different machines too. So for me to manually edit where the datum is in the program or enter the wrong machine means someone has a problem. mastercam pheader.txt mastercam pcomment.txt
  3. Hello, I am using an older version of mastercam X3 from 2007. I use an assortment of older machines so every post I've had to edit to make it work, however, I am having some trouble getting my edits to do what I want this time and after looking everywhere and spending several hours trial error all I have is error.. What I want to do is move some of the comments around. I want to remove the properties - " " from the operation manager from showing up before a tool change to save memory. I want to move it to the header area under "program number", "created on", and above "material". I have tried an assortment of ways but nothing works so far. How would I go about this? The reason I want it moved above is because I'm not always the one running the machine so we always check the program for which machine it's supposed to be used on so we don't crash. The issue is that I have to manually add this line in ever single time and it's a little tedious OR I completely forget... For the life of me I can't figure out what to do because any time i move the line comment$ and pcan it removes all the checked (from machine file check boxes) to my comment area but leaves them on consecutive tools ... If anyone can help that would be great.
