Tool path file names onto Setup Sheet

[djlunty]

Is it possible to have the .nc file for each tool path path copied to each "Operation" on the Setup Sheet.  I run each .nc file separately as I do manual tool changes.  One Setup may have four or five different tools.  Right now I just write down the file names beside each operation  to make sure I get the correct tool for each file.  

Thank you

Doug

Think I must not be understanding this properly 😞 😞

Is the information in the image below not enough ??

It has the Description of the operation, ie what it is, the strategy used for the operation, feeds, speeds, tool information etc, etc, etc.

What else do you need over an above what is already there ???

Stay Safe

My work flow is to create a file for each toolpath and load these into a controller.  I change the cutter, zero "Z" and run the file from the controller.  As each operation is a separate tool path I have to associate the toolpath file with the operation.  Right now I do it by nameing the .nc files with the strategy, tool number and project name.  It works but it would be nice to not have to be renaming the files all the time.   

Thank you for taking the time to look at my questio.

Take care

Hi @djlunty ,

I am not sure this will work or even answers your question, but 

FileSystem.getFolderPath(getOutputPath())

will give you the file path to the nc code that is set as you make the setup sheet. I am not sure it will be the same as the one for your nc code since you are probably posting separately. It also will probably not include the actually nc code file name, just the directory.

Let me know if that helps at all.

Thanks,

Will

Thank you for the reply.   

ooh - looks like programming so beyond my pay grade!  Doesn't look like a simple solution for me so will stick with my pen and paper method.
