Summary


Details

Currently, when running the ShopDocs report named Tool List Select (HTML/Excel) the tools will be listed in the order that they are used in the program. How can this tool list be ordered based on the tool number instead? Notice in the program below that the tools are not used in sequential order


When Tool List Select is run the tools are listed in this same order, as seen below.


Solution

Instead of listing the tools as seen in the Program Order View the list can be created in the order that they appear in the Machine Tool View . In the example below the tools are placed in Pockets that are sequentially numbered.


Edit the shopdoc_excel.tpl   file  to change the SELECTED_VIEW setting to MACHVIEW. This command will cause ShopDocs to list the tools as they are ordered in the Machine Tool View .

From:

[MOM_cycle_objects

 {SETUP INST='PART_GIF'

 {SELECTED_VIEW

 {MEMBERS

To:

[MOM_cycle_objects

 {SETUP INST='PART_GIF'

 {MACHVIEW

 {MEMBERS

Notice  below that the tools are now listed in order.
