You can create setup sheets by selecting the Setup Sheet option on the HSMWorks toolbar or right-mouse-click menu.

These create a .html setup sheet. This is actually driven by the setup-sheet.cps post processor. You can change the contents of the setup sheet by modifying this post processor.

Another post processor: setup-sheet-excel.cps will write out the setup sheet as an excel (.XLS) spreadsheet.

HSMWorks post processors are written in JavaScript, which is a open, de-bugged, executes very fast (compared with most post processors) and well documented language. Any good begineers' JavaScript book, or even what you can learn on Wikipedia, as well as the Post Processor documentation that installs with HSMWorks is enough to get you started. The post processors are completely open to the user.

Tip #1: Always back up your post before working on it.

Tip #2: Make one change at a time and test it.

Tip #3: Notepad ++ is a free text editor with infinite undo's which is very handy for editing post processors.

Tip #4: If you post process your file using the post processor: dump.cps you get a list of all of the parameters available to write to the post or setup sheet.

Tip #5: If you select the debug switch on the post processor page, HSMWorks will write notes in the posted file so you can "see" what part of the post wrote the code you are looking at.
