Hello everyone.

Does anyone have any experience using the DPP (document generation function) in SolidCAM.

I have been trying for some time to use this function to generate my tool set-up sheets (the in built SolidCAM ToolSheet utility doesn't fulfil our requirements), but try as I might I cannot get my DPP file to create a new folder to keep all the generated documents together. I have tried many permutations on the {nl,'!! make dir [++++++] !!} command but it just refuses to create a new folder.

Hopefully it is going to be something simple.

If you want to create a new folder in the folder, which also does not have it you do not manage it.
Example.
@test_block
local string sPath

sPath = 'K:\\FOLDER_1\\FOLDER_2'
{nl,'!! make dir=' sPath '!!'}

abort
endp

CORRECT:

@test_block
local string sPath

sPath = 'K:\\FOLDER_1'
{nl,'!! make dir=' sPath '!!'}

sPath = sPath + '\\' + 'FOLDER_2' ; OR sPath = 'K:\\FOLDER_1\\FOLDER_2'
{nl,'!! make dir=' sPath '!!'}
abort
endp

That works in a GPP file but it seems that SolidCAM's document generation functions using a *.DPP file are completely broken.
