Excel shop doc in nx8

[rafl]

I am trying to create a simple shop doc template using excel. The first column is index, second column is program name and third column is tool name.

${my_index} | ${mom_oper_program} | ${mom_tool_name}


I'm getting an error (see attached file).

Does it mean there is no way to create shop documentation with program view order

good luck with this one Rafl, I have asked Siemens numerous times for some help setting shop docs up (the excel version) to give us some output
that we would like to see here in our shop. I is advertised as a great tool to use, yet its a piece of crap they dont support.

Thanks. That's not good. I had really high hopes for this one.

Has anyone got an idea on how to make something similar in visual basic. I just need 2 columns (program name and tool name). It's basically program order view but without operation names. Maybe someone has something to share.

I would not use the excel authoring for this - just do it the traditional way, where you have control of which view and objects are cycled. For example:

[MOM_cycle_objects {SETUP 
                     {PROGRAMVIEW 
                       {MEMBERS
                         {OPER
                           {TOOL
                           }
                         }
                       }
                     }
                   }
