You do not have any PCB file identified in the [UserMenu] section of your aturn.ini file. PCB files can be created or existing ones modified using the Visual Custom Toolkit (CTK) to launch macros. The User Elements and Machine Events tool boxes are examples of panels created by the CTK. The CTK was an extra cost item until v11.0. It does not install with any application and must be installed separately from the SmartCAM v11 CD.
>From page 23 of the SmartCAM Customization Guide: [UserMenu] These settings activate a User menu on the menu bar. The User menu displays user-defined toolboxes for use in the application. If no items are specified in this section, the User menu does not appear. The settings are paired into MenuName# and MenuPcb# entries, beginning with 1. Each pair specifies a toolbox entry. MenuName# specifies the name that is displayed in the User menu for that toolbox. An ampersand (&) is used to prefix the letter that should be used for the menu selection key. This key is underlined in the menu when the menu is displayed. The system will not prevent the same key from being used more than once, so be sure that all MenuName# settings are unique. MenuPcb# specifies the content of the toolbox (in a PCB file) that is built using the Visual Customization Toolkit. A sample entry pair could be: MenuName1=My &Tbx1 MenuPcb1=path/file1.pcb All items must be specified in contiguous numerical order (1,2,3,4). If a number is skipped, no further menu entries will appear on the menu after the missing number. If a PCB file is missing or does not load, the menu item is dimmed and the warning "Could not find or load pcbfile. Toolbox toolboxname is not available" is displayed. When creating custom panel files (*.PCB), make sure you use a unique filename for the PCB file. SmartCAM will use the first PCB file with a matching name, regardless of path information associated with the customer control panel file. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Petre Kounov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 9:50 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] ARE In the Examples.doc( How to use ARE) the last one is: In all SmartCAM applications: The "User" menu for custom toolboxes, located on the upper menu bar between Process and Macro, has been renamed the "High Steel" menu. This is to make it obvious that the contents have been specifically designed and created for use by High Steel. I am running v11.1 Advanced Turning My upper menu bar has: File Edit Create View Utility Workplane Process Macro Help How come I don't have this option ( User)?

I also included a quick start guide that I wrote. Basically you need to decide what text you want to change in the user interface, then search and replace those using the ARE's Edit - String function. You may then need to alter the size and locations of some of the input fields, drop down boxes, radio buttons, etc... to accommodate the new strings using the Edit - Panels function. ================================================== Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: Bob Manganello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 7:28 AM To: 'Kelly D.
