List of program names from operation navigator

List of program names from operation navigator

List of program names from operation navigator

(OP)
Is there any way to create an automatic populating list or a table in drafting of program names from operation navigator?.Any ideas/suggestions how to do this?

RE: List of program names from operation navigator

Using a journal/program it is possible to do this.  In the past I wrote a program for creating specific shop floor documentation as html files.  Attached is an example from which I have removed certain information (to protect users).  Unfortunately I cannot now create a program to create the operation list to a drafting table because I no longer have CAM licenses.  I hope this example shows that it is certainly possible.

RE: List of program names from operation navigator

Looks pretty nice Frank,

I want to take out some drawings and photos, on my shop floor.

How can I customize this. I want to take out the workpice "cero point" on a drawing or photo, how can I do this...

Thanks.

 

RE: List of program names from operation navigator

Attached is a VB journal which creates a simple html file.  I have used a directory C:\temp.  You need to place the two gif files into this dir.  When your run the vb journal it creates the html file in this dir. If you need to use another dir then you will need to change all references in the journal.

The journal shows typical formats.

Regards

RE: List of program names from operation navigator

Hi Frank,

You mean that with an VB journal, I can take out GIF images of workpiece drawings and CAM toolpaths photos?

I want to take out the cero workpice photos,the coordetanest etc,
in a GIF or JPG image...

and some toolpaths photos.

The point os how...

Thanks.

RE: List of program names from operation navigator

Yes taking out workpiece drawings is certainly possible from a journal.  I don't have a CAM license so that I cannot check out journal methods for tool path display.  It is certainly possible from a program as demonstrated in the earlier example.
