Your right Daryl, I stand corrected. There seems to be no limit to the number of characters and lines in the various notes fields of the Planner. I've now tried 2000 characters on 200 lines and the Planner still stored them.
However I find there is still is a limit as to how many of these characters you can utilize from within these fields. It seems that a macro string variable can only output 40 of those characters, and a template file string variable can only output 78 of those characters to code. Has anyone in the group made any similar observations? ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Daryl Hatch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 1:37 PM To: SmartCAM Users Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] Step notes Fred, I've seen this 255 character limit issue pop up in this group a few times lately and I've didn't think it could be accurate because I use Job Notes pretty extensively and have never had a problem. So just a few minutes ago I opened a JOF file at random and counted 475 characters in the Job Notes section, and it wasn't even a one my wordy ones!
