  1. I'm running into an issue with my setup sheet where I need to put something called chip load into my parts list. I looked through the XML files generated by the secret handshake and I didn't see anything about chip load, but I did see something about chip break. I'm not super knowledgeable about the CNC side of things, so I googled the formula for chip load and got this: chipLoad = feedRateInchesPerMinute / (RPM * numFlutes) And while that's fine and dandy, I don't know how to put that into my setup sheet. I know there's FPT and SFM for mill operations, but from my understanding that doesn't necessarily apply to a lathe, and my setup sheet is a Mill Turn setup sheet that I found from eMastercam. I got it to look pretty good, all things considered: There's a few issues, as you can see: 1.) Program Number is not populating for lathe. It populates for mill, however. 2.) It looks kind of bland. Like there isn't much information about the operations, their duration, or the feeds and speeds. I know there needs to be more here; I'm just not sure what to add. I know that there's a lot I don't know about the CNC world, but I hope to start learning more as I work on things in the field, so to speak. Thanks for your time, have a great day.
  2. Hello mcam world, 1. For a while now I have been wanting to create a custom active report or tool list. Preferably using the right click "Tool List" option when in the operations manager. Attached is the format i would like to use as to keep things familiar to everyone at our shop. Looking at the format attached, do you think it's possible to create this? i'm not asking you to do it for me (unless you really want to mess with it) ,I'm just wondering if that's too specific for mastercam. 2. Is it even possible to change what template Mastercam uses in that right click option? It currently sorts the tools is order of use and not in sequential order. If i am just wanting to whip out a quick tool list I use this option. Setup sheets I use the "Setup Sheet" button under the "machine" Tab. 3. If it is possible to use this new format, can i then link it to the setup sheet button for an active report? I don't need tool holders displayed on the new list, i just want the basic info. Thanks for any and all info related TOOLLIST-BLANK.docx
  3. I'm open here so maybe Active Reports is not the way to go. What ever it is, has to be free or included with my software. I do not like the .set type of setup sheet. After opening with that, I have been experimenting with Active Reports Designer. I pretty much have it laid out like I want but how do I make a text box that I can type data in at the moment of creating the setup sheets? I see it has to be bound to a xml file but where do I get this original xml file? I just got a tutorial from my reseller today but if any one has a very short and sweet setup sheet that would save me a load of time I'd be very grateful. If any one can help I'll take a screen shot or upload some files when I get back to work tomorrow.
