Addins

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 12:02:13 GMT

I have been using the addin for the setup sheets and it works great. The problem I am having is when I load the addin it only works while I have Featurecam open. After I close Featurecam the addin does not work anymore. I have to unload it and reload it everytime. Is this a bug or is there a fix for this?

Hello @Anonymous,

Yes, this is happening since 2018 with ribbon interface and FeaturreCAM development team is aware of it.

As a work around, you can run the macro using 'run basic macro' or follow the steps below to add icon using customization dialog:

Make sure the setupsheet.dll is loaded in Add-ins\Manage tab
Right click on Ribbon toolbar and select 'Customize the Ribbon'
It will open up a new window with three options 'Quick access toolbar', 'Customize Ribbon', 'Macros'.
- Select 'Macros' from those options.
In Menu contents, click on 'new' (insert) and type the name of a macro 'setup sheet'.
Keep it selected and click on the button which is opposite of Macro and say Ok.
There will be an icon 'setup sheet' available in add-ins tab.

Refer a video link below for detailed information about this work around.
