Once again, thank you so much for the macro conversion help. This will definitely get pointed in the right direction.

The path for custom tool graphics is stored in the application ini file and not the planner. This will be automatically updated the first time you change the path from within the planner interface. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Michael Senack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 3:54 PM To: SmartCAM Users Group (E-mail) Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [mfg-smartcam] V4.5 to V11.5 Custom Tool Graphic selection JOS_CONTEXT_OPEN[BASEITEM=1, USERNAME="1"] JOS_FIELD_EDIT[FLDNAME="graphics", EXPR="No12CD.SH3"] JOS_CHANGES_PROMOTE[] JOS_CONTEXT_CLOSE[] Above are the steps I go thru to get the CTG Custom Tool Graphics file for the STEP NOTES description from a SC V4.5 job plan that is read into V11.5. The STEP NOTES are the #TLCMT in V4.5 which I use the following template statement M0 T#TOOL #TLCMT for our beloved 22 year old Bostomatic. What I would like to know is there a way to do... 1) read the STEP NOTES and place it in a character string 2) take the first 13 characters of this string i.e.. NO.12 C/DRILL 3) Using that string NO.12 C/DRILL match it to NO12CD.sh3 string 4) then read in the CTG file of NO12CD.sh3 from my W:\TOOLS tooling subdirectory. Is this too to ask? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
