Pre-NX 8 templates are not visible in the NX because you can use the default templates to create a report of machining operations from any of the four Operation Navigator views. Pre-NX 8 templates generate reports only for a single view. If you want to use pre NX 8 templates, remove the comment sign (#) in the shop_doc.dat file . The file is located in MACH\resource\shop_doc.

Pre NX 8 Templates |
Description |
||
Operations List |
Produces a report for each program in the Program Order View of the Operation Navigator. The report lists operation names, descriptions of the operations, and the names of the tools used in each operation. You can generate the report in either text or HTML format. This report can help a machinist prepare the job. |
||
Tool List |
Produces a report of the tools that were imported into the NC program from the tool library and that are visible in the Machine Tool View of the Operation Navigator. The report includes the data within each tool. You can generate the report in either text or HTML format. This report helps the NC Programmer identify the tools that are available for an NC Program.
|
||
Operation List by Method |
Produces a report on the operations as they appear in the Machine Method View of the Operation Navigator. The report lists the operations in sequence. You can generate the report in either a text or HTML format. This report can be used for reviewing your NC program. |
||
Unique Tool List by Program |
Produces a report only on the tools that are used to machine the part in each program. These tools and their data are listed in the order that they are used. Each tool is listed only once, even if it is used in more than one operation in a program. Tools that are not used in machining the part are not listed. You can generate the report in either text or HTML format. This report can be useful for machinists and tool crib personal to prepare the needed tools for setup. |
||
Advanced Operations List |
Produces a report that is similar to the report produced by the Operations List template, except that a graphical image of each operation is added. You can generate the report in HTML format only.
|
||
Tools and Operations |
Produces a report that lists the tools in the part file, and the operations in which each tool was used in the actual NC program. You can generate the report in HTML format only. This report can help a machinist get a better understanding of knowing what tool is associated with what operation. |
||
Advanced Web Page |
Produces a report that can be used as a setup sheet that provides images of each tool path, and a page of parameters for each tool. The setup sheet takes information from all of the views of the Operation Navigator. The report can be output in HTML format only. This is a sample of a framed web page that can be used as the basis for customization. You may want the output to go to a separate folder, since many files may be created. You need to open the created file in your local web browser to view the output. This web page provides details for the machinist about how a job can be prepared.
|
||
Advanced Web Page Mill Turn |
Produces a report similar to the Advanced Web Page, plus it includes additional tool parameters for Turning tools. This report can help a machinist prepare the job. |
||
Export Tool Library to ASCII datafile |
Use to create an ASCII tool library file containing all the tools in the part. If you were previously using part files as your tool libraries, this option will help you convert your library to a text file. This file can be used as a library, or the content can be pasted into an existing tool library file. The location of the library file that is created is determined by the template, and is displayed in the listing device. Further instructions are represented in the Listing dialog.
