[Da...] Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I apologize for not knowing the exact terms, but here goes. I use auto run to measure 2,4 or 8 cavity molded parts at one time. So for instance I run a 4 cavity autorun, calypso will output the chr, fet and hdr files with a number addended to the end. So for instance I will see " 81-2587_revcc_18010_chr" 81-2587_revcc is my part # and rev which is the file name of my program. But if i run the 4 cavites all four parts are labeled with the 18010. Is it possible for that number to be incrementally changed for each cavity, vs. each pallet ran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I am missing a meaning of word "cavity" - lost in translation. For part numbering there is autoincrement field "Part number". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Let me be your dictionary 🤣 A cavity is one of several identical forms in a plastic or similar mold. 8 cavities = 8 identical parts made in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like from plastic models parts, ready to pop from frame to make a model of car. So cavity on protocol is just number same as others - informing about position in mold? How it's different from "nest"?

[No...] Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 It isn't 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Then ... EXPLAIN! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! 🤣 🤣 🤣 ( Doctor Who for those who don't got it 😃 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 But when i run a program with 4 nests, it doesnt output each one as 1,2,3,4, it has them all as the same run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 It has to be setup in autorun input. I tryied this with cavity - so every fixture position can have pre-setted number for cavity - same for nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Please sign in to view this quote. But are you sure this number will show up in the name of the CHR etc. files? Because that's what Darren was asking for. I don't know unfortunately, because I don't use these files for anything and so never looked at how the filename is built.

[Ma...] Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 These filenames can be changed same way as PDF and others. I'll look if it can be entered into formula for name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 So I checked the default names for the plan and you can add it to the formula. getRecordHead("cavity") In the autorun settings on the palette, edit the cavity number in all positions ( on 1. set 1; on 2. set 2; ... ) and that's it. Or I didn't quite understand the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 In Calypso 5 it can be done through multiple printout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
