DO YOU KNOW THAT A SETUP SHEET IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR IKE POST PROCESSOR?
Starting with IKE Version 9, all the IKE Post Processors come with a free of charge Setup Sheet.
The Setup Sheet is automatically created when a file is posted. It is created as an HTML file and it is located in the same NC folder where the G-code file (NC file) is typically located:
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Mastercam 2024\Mastercam\Mill\NC
Support for tool images and screen shots can be added using a C-Hook, IKETools2024.exe, that is available from In-House Solutions.
The Setup Sheet can be modified to show different header, tool, and operation information. The overall format will remain the same. Please contact In-House Solutions to make these modifications.
If you would like a setup sheet with a different format, they can be purchased from In-House Solutions. For a customized Setup Sheet please contact your account manager.
