/////// ICONBAR.DEF V11.0
//
// This file is intended to contain the complete set
// of available commands for all SmartCAM applications.
// The names of the buttons used in the icon bar are
// defined here. Application specific bar files (e.g. amill.bar, ffm.bar)
// should contain ONLY the BUTTON reference for supplied application
commands.
Iconbar.def is only a reference file not a tool bar. You will have to edit
your bars manually, not from button add in Smartcam.
Check your ffm.ini file for the location and icon bar that you are calling.
[IconBar]
SetupFile=C:\SM11\SHARED\ICON\ffm.BAR
Defaults=C:\SM11\SHARED\ICON\ICONBAR.DEF
Position=BOTTOM
IconSize=SMALL
If you cant get the bar you want to load, try opening it from the
Utility --> Icon Bar --> Choose. This will make sure that you have the
proper name and path.
If this does not work send your tool bars and I will take a look at them if
you want.
Here is my complete main tool bar.
BAR "ffm"

BUTTON "Get FFMAux Bar"
HELPLINE "Switch to FreeForm Machining Auxiliary bar"

Thanks for the iconbar.def
I still can not add this button to my bar. Only predefined buttons I have
are
Bar Hide and Bar Save.
I edited my main tool bar the way you suggested, but in this case Smartcam
doesn't want
to load it. Maybe I need to look somewhere else than iconbar.def only?

Open you main tool bar (C:\SM11\SHARED\ICON\*.bar), edit or add the
following button. If you have two many icons to fit on one page you might
have to split them in to two bars.
BUTTON "Get FFMAux Bar" <-- name of bar you want to switch to
HELPLINE "Switch to FreeForm Machining Auxiliary bar"
ICON "barcycl"
EVENT bar "C:\SM11\SHARED\ICON\ffmaux" <--path of bar you want to
switch
to
Your next page of icons need the following button added.
BUTTON "Get FFM Bar" <--need to add this to
auxiliary bar in order to switch back to main bar.
HELPLINE "Switch to FFM bar"
ICON "barcycl"
EVENT bar "C:\SM11\SHARED\ICON\ffm" <--path of main bar you want to switch
back to
Add this button to each bar in order to cycle through your bars.

Hi All,
My company switched from SmartCam v.10 to v.11
On v.10 the icon bar has two arrow buttons at the bottom,
which allow to open the "next page" of icons.
In v.11 that option is missing (or I don't know how to
switch it on ) and in order to use all the icons (or icons not currently
shown)
from the icon bar I have to increase the bar size to almost a quarter of my
screen
( kind of a painful procedure when I do this twenty times to complete
one job ).Any ideas how I can use my "old" icon bar?
Thanks in advance
Peter
