Hi Alfaro, If you put the file name in the stepnotes section, then #INCLUDE(#TLCMT) In your TMP where you want the output, you should be all set. You will need to store the text files where your code file is output to, also you will need to have () around your text.
J.G. ---Original Message----- From: Alfaro, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 10:13 AM To: SmartCAM Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: Text output question... Hi All, We put a lot of machinist information into our programs, usually 5 to 10 lines of text per PROCESS STEP. Needless to say, the STEP NOTES section of the Job Planner is woefully underpowered in this respect. To work around this, we write separate text files that correspond to each step. Then we call these files into the TMP file by using USER EVENTs in each process model. Yes, it is as cumbersome as it sounds. What we would LIKE to do is to call the files in through the PROCESS STEP LIST. We have pulled in user variables into the TMP file by defining them in the JOB INFO section of the Job Plan. Unfortunately, when we try to re-define the variables in the STEP NOTES section of the Job Planner all we get is the literal text (i.e. #S10=4G000400.001). Does anyone have any suggestions that will allow us to get more text into the machine code without so many "work-arounds"? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
