Expression for setup sheets

There is an expression for use in setup sheets of ${snapshot(entity,size,view)} where:

entity is 'ncprogram', or 'toolpath'.

size is 'large', 'medium', or 'small'.

view is 'iso', 'front', 'back', 'top', 'bottom', 'left',or 'right'.

For example, to create a grid of views of the toolpath:

<tr>
	<td> ${snapshot('toolpath','medium','iso')} </td><td>${snapshot('toolpath','medium','top')}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td> ${snapshot('toolpath','medium','front')} </td><td>${snapshot('toolpath','medium','left')}</td>
</tr>

If this is expression is used in a setup sheet then PowerMill automatically takes the required picture in the requested view if it does not exist when the setup sheets are previewed.

You can also use snapshot mode to annotate the pictures before you create the setup sheets. In this case you need to set the view, add the annotation and store the snapshot as the required view.
