[ I want to be able to export the tool library text into a spreadsheet. ] -Jon Banquer- (AKA: NeilJ)
[ You mean like this??
1) open excel
2) file, open, txt file from export from MCX
3) choose delimited format when asked. used little checkboxes to control detail of cells.
Done. pretty simple....... ] -Robert-
[ Nope. I don't mean like that. What a mess. ] -Jon Banquer- (AKA: NeilJ) 8-19-2008 STILL CLUELESS
[ It's only a mess because you have no training and don't know what you're looking at. ] CNC Apps Guy

OK...... You don't like that. But that is what MCX tool libraries look like in their native ASCII format. What kind of eye candy do you want? If you have any excel skills, you can make it LOOK however you want. But the fact remains, if you save the above spreadsheet as a .txt file, it WILL create a library. There is quite a bit of help docs that describe the formatting...... ] -Robert-
[ I've seen what Mastercam X tool libraries look like by opening them in Notepad. I understand that I can format the info any way I like in Excel most likely using VBA (if it's still called that). I have done this kind of thing in the past but at this point I don't wish to allocate the time and effort to do this and would prefer to purchase one that looks pretty and is easy for anyone to use without understanding Mastercam's tool library format. ] - Jon Banquer- (AKA: NeilJ)
You are so full of shit Jon, if you really knew how to format a spreadsheet it would be done, it's that fast, it's that easy.
You already used 100x the effort and time search for a formatted spreadsheet on the net than it would take to create one from scratch. So your excuse that you have the knowledge but not the time is false.
Explain IN YOUR OWN WORDS how Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology will help a user understand the design intent of someone else's non-native imported model....................................
Lets start with the fact that you never define exactly what you're talking about. When asked for specifics you don't answer because you don't have a clue.
