Setup sheets

The Setup Sheet setup sheet icon tool creates documentation for the operator, from the operations in a setup.

The setup sheet includes:

  • An image of the model taken from the current screen view.
  • Work coordinate system (WCS) information.
  • Size and orientation of the raw stock block.
  • Size and orientation of the finished part.
  • The number of tools to use.
  • Maximum travels in Z, cutting distance, rapid distance.
  • Estimated cycle time.
  • Detailed information for each operation.

The setup sheet can be saved to any location. Often you might save it to the same folder as the NC program file.

When the setup sheet is created, it automatically opens in your Internet browser. You can print the setup sheet using your normal browser print functions, commonly Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (macOS).
