You could make a postprocessor that collects the data and outputs it in some kind of asci format e.g. xml or csv.

If you are good at ugopen I think there is a possibility to create an xml file directly. However, I am not sure if ugopen has access to the manufacturing data.

Hi
I made my own shopdoc, but there was some problems, unobtainable parameters etc.
It is easier to start with a postprocessor.
In a post you can write your TCL code to write operation parameters to a file..
I wrote a VB script too, so now i only have to click on a button, and all the programs and the shopdoc Html file will be generated. But, unfortunately it is workin only in our file-sorting system..
Take a look at my threads, there are many of my questions, and there are the answers, which helped me.
