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.

After the update to Mastercam 2024, we are unable to edit shared setup sheets. We get a popup asking to connect to server and it wants "server address", "username" and "password". We've never had to do this before. Our IT Dept doesn't know this information. We've reached out to mastercam. They said it's not their product and to contact Emastercam. They also had us convert the files in mastercam but that didn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Currently making a custom setup sheet using ActiveReports but when I try to start it up with a part in Mastercam, I get the dreaded "DataSource not set!" error: Really confused as to how Active Reports work. I understand that there's a predetermined structure to get them to work right. The way I have mine structured is as follows: Directory: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Shared Mastercam 2024\common\reports\SST\test testreport.rpx -testreport(OPERATION).rpx -testreport(OPERATION-M).rpx From my understanding of ActiveReports, I made a main report that holds a link to the OPERATION test report via the "SubReport" box:, Then, in the next report, I have this: And finally, I have this: If you couldn't tell, this is based off of someone else's setup sheet posted here. I don't remember the original user, apologies; however, right now I'm just trying to get a grasp of how to structure my reports. This is not the final design, and this is not the final implementation. Just a test. So suffice it to say, there's still the matter of figuring out the correct DataSource to insert into the XML Recordset Pattern field... I'm not really sure what to put here. The documentation on this is quite lacking. Thanks in advance.

Hello Friends, I am editing my tool list template using ActiveReports Designer and I am running into a problem. I want to have my MCX file name in the report so that operators can see the part number and the revision level (which we put in our file name). I made a text box and input "MCXFILE-SHORT" in the DataField, but it just gives me a blank box when i create the report. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can you not put the MCX filename in a Tool List report? One thing I have noticed is that under "fields" my "bound" field says "bound error: could not find a part of the path "C:\Windows\SST\Samples\Mill\SSM.xml". Woudl this be causeing my error? If so, how do I fix it? Many thanks in advance tool list sample.pdf
