Job Costing Plugin

Post by Vmax549 »

Here is teh Job Costing plugins. Unzip it into teh Plugins directory then restart Sheetcam it should show up in the plugins.

input the specifc values for the material table and the Cost of units table .

Then apply a material name in your job to the material used.

When you run the plugin it uses a built in post to calculate teh cost of the part.

Try using the latest development version. I think that plugin is using a function that is only available in recent dev versions.

Hey,

ok, the Plugin work now,
but I had to copy the message.mo and edito.mo from the de Language Folder to the en Folder, so when I set the Language in SheetCam to English, I´ve got it in German.
If I use the Files from the de Language Folder, the Plugin doesn´t work.

Best regards

Hi Terry
Tryning to use this plugin but I get an error as below:

Lua: Error while running chunk
...tCam TNG Development\plugins\SCJobCost\ScJobCost.lua:192: attempt to call field 'Show' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
...tCam TNG Development\plugins\SCJobCost\ScJobCost.lua:192: in function <...tCam TNG Development\plugins\SCJobCost\ScJobCost.lua:191>

It comes from this piece of code.

panel:Connect(ID_MCedit_BUT, wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED,
function(event)
MCE.Show()
mainframe:Iconize(false)
end )

Sorry but I NO longer have access to a licensed SheetCam package. Teh machine we had that used it was sold with all teh hardware and software that went with it.

So without a usable copy of the software there will be no more attempts at plugins or fixes or updates for plasma based functions.

Sorry, (;-) TP

Hey Les, I think I am going to have to call in for backup on figuring this one out. There is a bug in this plugin and it looks like the author no longer has access to sheetcam. I was really hoping to figure it out myself, but that's not happening.

It looks like the error is happening when the main program calls a sub file in. My guess is it has something to do with the update of the wxWidgets maybe? I've tried everything I can think of, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of stuff out there to read up on this. Or at least not that I am able to find. Everything I look up is rather generic with the classic "Hello World" examples.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been losing myself in the lathe plugin code. Lathe toolpaths are complicated!

The 'grid changed' event changed in wx3.x. This should fix it.

Hey Guys,

would like to use this Plugin but it doesn't seem to work...
i get errors when i press any button, could anyone help me with this.

I'm using Sheetcam now for a couple of years in combination with an StartSH controller and works like a charm, only with this plugin it would be even better!
