Setup Sheet gadget problems

Post by John Murphy »

Hi.

I was anxious to try the upgraded setup sheet LUA, but I'm not having much luck. I click on the gadget, but nothing seems to happen.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'clicking' on the gadget. The Setup Sheet gadget is run from 'Toolpaths - Create Job Sheet' in a file with toolpaths created. You should then be prompted to pick the name for the Html setup sheet it creates.

Hi Brian.

I guess that I was mistaken. I thought that the revised setup sheets where going to be customize-able. (like adding a company logo etc.)

I saw the setup folder in the gadgets folder, and wrongly assumed it had been made into a gadget.

My mistake.

It's always been a gadget. It's just that it runs in a different way to most.

With the new release you can copy it into the Documents/Vectric Files gadget folder and modify it without your changes being lost when the next patch/version is released.

Thanks for the explanation Adrian.

I'm not that computer literate enough that I would try to modify the gadget myself.
