To Set Up a PPRINT Table
From the SMT MFG MACHINING dialog box, click Setup > PPRINT. The PPRINT menu appears with the following options:
Retrieve—Retrieve an existing PPRINT table from the current working directory.
Save—Save the current PPRINT table for later use. The system prompts you for the file name. The file has an extension .ppr and is stored in the current working directory.
Whenever you output CL data to a file, the system checks the PPRINT table. If any flag is set to YES and the appropriate information is available, the corresponding PPRINT command outputs to the CL file.
The following items are output once per CL file:
PART_NAME
DATE_TIME
SCALE
TRANSLATE
ROTATE
The following items are output once per operation:
OPERATION_NAME
OPERATION_COMMENTS
UDF_NAME
TURRET
The following items are output once per NC sequence:
NC_SEQUENCE_NAME
FEATURE_ID

CUT_FEEDRATE_&_UNITS
ARC_FEEDRATE_&_UNITS

The TOOL_COMMENTS string is obtained depending on the type of the tool:
In case of a Standard Punch, from the TOOL_COMMENT parameter in the parameters file.
In case of a Library part, from the part parameter TOOL_COMMENT.
In case of a Form or a Punch, from the TOOL_COMMENT parameter of the referenced feature (Form or Punch/Notch).
