How to use "setup sheet configurations"?

[DarthBane55]

Hi, I turned on this feature preview "setup sheet configurations".  Tweaked one of them... but now I don't know how to trigger it.  I've never used setup sheets with Fusion, they were just not that great for my needs, but now that we can configure, maybe I can tweak it to my liking.  How to I create such a setup sheet from a configuration?  When I click "setup sheet", it opens an explorer window, and boom, it does the setup sheet and saves it there, it never asks what configuration I'd like to use.

Any help much appreciated!

You need to create the setup sheet from the NC Program in your browser tree. That way you can select the configuration you want.

Thanks for that!  I had never used "NC programs" either.  Always seemed to add 1 extra step that seems to be unnecessary, but I know Fusion is moving towards that so I guess I'll try to get familiar with it.

So the setup sheet generated... in some Fusion native format.  I was expecting an HTML file that we can save somewhere on the server and that anybody in the shop could quickly and easily have access to.  Oh well!

Actually, now I see that it is accessible from the web browser, thru the team portal, and I am starting to see a good use for these.  I still need some help, if you can...

There is no picture showing the WCS location on the part.  What do you usually do to tell the machinist where to pickup his offsets?  There is nothing showing it on the setup sheet that I generated.  A nice zoomed in view with the WCS showing seems like a minimum to me, along with a space to type some instructions.  Can you let me know what you usually do for this please?

Also, for example, in the tools section, is there a way to re-order the information displayed on the setup sheet?  For example, if I prefer to have the tool description as the 1st thing shown, is there a way to achieve that?  Then I would re-order everything from most important to least (our preference).

If I can figure out how to do these 2 things, we might have something very useful with these sheets!

Tbh I’m not the best person to ask here. I’ve only been using a the setup sheet to get A tool list. I haven’t played around with it too much. It would be great if it could be customised further as you suggest. I’m not sure this is possible perhaps it will be added soon...?
