Jeff,
You are missing the SmartCAM Localization tool Kit (SLK), which contains the Application Resource Editor (ARE). This utility was intended to allow third parties to translate SmartCAM into different languages. Prior to the discontinuance of tech support for SmartCAM by SDRC, the SLK was not readily available, even to resellers, due to the potential tech support nightmare it could create. I attained a copy from a reseller (with SDRC's permission) with the understanding that I would never, NEVER, EVER ask any support questions even remotely related to the SLK. This point is now moot since EDS (who bought SDRC) provides no technical support for any SmartCAM questions. This utility will not enable you to "add" anything to the "Add Process Step" or other dialogs, but it would allow you to change the existing strings within. In your case you could change the "Op Type" of "Edge Milling" to "Thread Milling". The ARE does this by making a modified copy of the applications Binary Resource Configuration (BRC) file. Then using the ARE you can replace one string with another. I would not recommend it's use to anyone but experienced power users. I would like to post it to the group, or perhaps on SmartCAM Mike's web site, but I will need an OK from EDS first since it is copyrighted material. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.highsteel.com <http://www.highsteel.com/> ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 11:32 PM To: Smartcam User Group Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Add Process Step My question is in the Job Plan / Add Process Step / Milling Operations. In the Operation Type and Tool Type I would like to add Thread Milling. I've editted the m_inch.def, mautodsc.fmt, mautoid.fmt and just about every file I could find that pertains to the steps but it still doesn't show up when I open SC. Can this be done? What am I missing? Jeff Pieper EATON Hydraulics
