Sheetcam job report code for pierce count?

Deezl Smoke · Post by **Deezl Smoke** » Mon Mar 27, 2023 9:09 am

In sheetcam, the pierce count shows up in "jet report", but not in "summary". As I recall, and I tried using search, there was a discussion some time back about inserting code in the edit template for something similar.
I found the code line in jet report, but I am not at all knowledgeable about html. Might someone here give me a brief guide of how and where to put the pierce count into the summary job report code please?
Thank you.

I am not exactly sure but if you could post your templates for the jet report and summary I would be interested in trying to figure it out.

I'll give this a try. The choices under edit when I highlight the code is different than what I'm used to, so I pasted it in notepad as text.
This one is the template for "summary".
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Job report</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Job summary</h1>
@Notes@
Job: @JobName@
Report created: @Date@ @Time@
Number of tool changes: @ToolChanges@ Total cut distance:
@CutDistance@ Total cut time: @CutTime@ Total
Rapid distance: @RapidDistance@ Job time: @TotalTime@
Job width: @JobExtentW@ Job height: @JobExtentH@ Job area: @JobArea@2
</body>
</html>

Before I paste the one for jet, please let me know if this is what you would like to have me present here. The one for jet report is quite lengthy, unless I can figure out how to post it as a file.

So instead, I just copied the last part of jet report where the code that i need is located.



<hr>

Page @PageNumber@ of @PageCount@



Summary:
Job width: @JobExtentW@ Job height: @JobExtentH@ Job area: @JobArea@2
Number of tool changes: @ToolChanges@
 Total cut distance:
@CutDistance@ Total cut time: @CutTime@
 Total Rapid distance: @RapidDistance@
 Number of pierces: @Pierces@
 Job size: @JobExtentW@ x @JobExtentH@ (@JobArea@2)
 Job time: @TotalTime@

</body>
</html>

Just try copying the line you want and past it in the other one and make the formatting look the same. See if it works. If not, try something else. I don't think anything will explode if it doesn't work. Just will look goofy.
I think.thr <br are line breaks.
You can also Google the html codes and see what they do.

Try this and see if it displays the pierce count for you.

Don't forget you can see pierces and cut length for all parts enabled in nesting mode, view toolpaths mode shows pierce/length for single part.

I deleted my code after saving a copy, then pasted yours. I hit ok, and it prompted my to save as. So I saved it, then hit ok again, and this is all that comes up. For some reason "save" or control s is not highlighted so I can't just save it, only save as.

You have no operations in your job, so nothing to display.

Right. But I want pierce count to be in the menu of items that are displayed when there is a job.

Gotcha. I thought you were talking about everything being 0. Nevermind.

That is odd. I am assuming that when it was saved using Save As that it may have been saved a different file name than the original. If that was the case the original file is still be displayed and not the new one with the updated code. I will have to dig a little deeper but if it was using your new code you would see something in the report to reflect that.

When I "save as" the code you supplied, I save it in a location that I can access as a specific file name. I try to bring it back in after save as, and the pierce count is in the code line just as you put it, but when I hit ok, that code line does not seem to make the transition from the "edit template" to the job report menu. It's like the original code is behind a lock screen or something, and when I hit ok, the modified code is not recognized and is just eliminated.? Or something like that.
If you do come up with something, I would love to hear it. But I also want to thank you so very much for all of your time and efforts you have put into this already.
If the control s or "save" icon would highlight, I think it would save the new code. But it just does not seem to want me to have that option.

What are you using to edit the template? Maybe try opening it in a text editor with SheetCam not running.

Deezl Smoke · Post by **Deezl Smoke** » Wed Mar 29, 2023 10:08 pm

I click on "edit template" in the job report program. It opens as shown above. The file says it is an html document?
I can copy/paste lines, and/or ad lines into the list of what I assume is code. I just cant seem to get it to save.
How do I get it to text editor? Would word pad work?

Post by **djreiswig** » Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:02 am

I would try notepad. You will have to force it to open in notepad, since it's probably not the default program to open html files.

Deezl Smoke · Post by **Deezl Smoke** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 8:31 am

So notepad was no issues. but once pasted back into the template, it highlighted the save icon, but here is how that goes.

Post by **djreiswig** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 10:12 am

You should be able to do everything in notepad. Why are you trying to save it again in SheetCam? Just open both files & cut/paste & save.

Deezl Smoke · Post by **Deezl Smoke** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 2:06 pm

I pasted the amended code into sheetcam after erasing the original. It then pops up with the option to save or not. I click on save. If I click on no, it returns to the original code with out the pierce count. By clicking on save or yes, the error pop up comes on screen.
It acts like I need a password or something, but it never asks for one. I paid for the license.

That is the code supplied above pasted. The very same thing happens with the notepad file pasted. That's why I re-tried the code lines above after several attempts with notepad.
This is how notepad appears.

This is how copy/paste the saved notepad file appears in edit template before clicking ok.
