Using a journal/program it is possible to do this. In the past I wrote a program for creating specific shop floor documentation as html files. Attached is an example from which I have removed certain information (to protect users). Unfortunately I cannot now create a program to create the operation list to a drafting table because I no longer have CAM licenses. I hope this example shows that it is certainly possible.

Looks pretty nice Frank,

I want to take out some drawings and photos, on my shop floor.

How can I customize this. I want to take out the workpice "cero point" on a drawing or photo, how can I do this...

Thanks.

 
Attached is a VB journal which creates a simple html file. I have used a directory C:\temp. You need to place the two gif files into this dir. When your run the vb journal it creates the html file in this dir. If you need to use another dir then you will need to change all references in the journal.

The journal shows typical formats.

Hi Frank,

You mean that with an VB journal, I can take out GIF images of workpiece drawings and CAM toolpaths photos?

I want to take out the cero workpice photos,the coordetanest etc,
in a GIF or JPG image...

and some toolpaths photos.

The point os how...

Thanks.
 
Yes taking out workpiece drawings is certainly possible from a journal. I don't have a CAM license so that I cannot check out journal methods for tool path display. It is certainly possible from a program as demonstrated in the earlier example.

Sadly, it's way over my head.Would truly appreciate if someone could help me create this vb journal.As I wrote in first post I want to find a way to export program names to drafting table.
Thanks for any help you can give.
