Yes I was going to at the minimum put print or msg comments in the files, but if the Que Gui could handle it, or add to it that might be better.
Things I would like to express to the operator would be, Material descriptions (Size and Type), Fixturing instructions, Tools used, Total # of parts needed, and # completed or to go. Some kind of attention getter at Job changes would be a good idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Albertson" <[email protected]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 28, 2017 2:40:36 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Gui Feature Request On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 10:18 AM, Kurt Jacobson <[email protected]> wrote: > Todd, > A job que is an interesting idea and I can see were it would be useful.

There needs to be some BIG warning that the tooling needs to be set up for the next upcoming job. I can just see making 8 identical parts and all the operator does in swap in new material and then the operator sets up a 9th ruins and the program is different and the tool crashes into the clamps. It is easy to ignore warnings after 8 or 10 unimportant ones when the next one is important. > > Another idea I have in mind is the ability to have multiple tooltables, one > for each job.
