Custom setup sheets add-in

You can create custom setup sheets for milling, turning, and turn/mill parts using the SetupSheet.dll add-in.

The add-in extracts information from the File > Info page and enables you to take images for each Setup.

You can use setup sheets to give information to the machine operator about the manufacturing, tooling, and toolpaths of a part.

Load and run the SetupSheet.dll add-in.

The Title, Author, Note 1, Note 2, Company, Part/Drawing No., Revision, and Comments values are copied from the File > Info page and you can edit them there.

You can use this dialog to capture an image for each Setup in the current document, as well as an image to represent the whole document.

To capture an image for a Setup, select the Setup name in the Setups list and click the Capture Setup Image button to capture the current contents of the graphics window.

Tip: First run a simulation only for the Setup you want to capture by deselecting other Setups in the Part View; then adjust the view to show a good orientation of the Setup, and open the Setup Sheet Options dialog to capture the image in the graphics window.

You must use a template to create the setup sheets. Click the Browse Template button to find and set the template you want to use. There is a template, SetupSheetTemplate.html, in the Addins\SetupSheet folder.

To create the setup sheets, click the Create Setup Sheets button. The part is simulated to generate toolpaths and the setup sheet is displayed in your web browser. You can save the HTML file from your browser.

To open the setup sheet in the FeatureCAM Browser, select File > Open from the menu and browse to the setup sheet HTML file.
