Just uploaded a first version of a checklist program to ShopBot Labs (http://www.shopbottools.com/shopbot_labs.htm) that I would like some feedback on from teachers. It basically lets you create a custom checklist on-screen that defines the steps in running a part file and makes sure that they're done in order.

There's a sample checklist included in the download (it runs in Preview mode so you don't have to be connected to a tool to try it out) and some rudimentary information on creating custom versions. If it proves helpful I'll work on creating tools to make customizing checklists easier.

Bill -

Thanks for your hard work on this one, and your timing is pergfect. Our 'bot is getting some heavy use, and there are several repeated projects that will be used by a variety of students - a checklist is just what we have been looking for for a long,loing while!

Thanks to you, one of our volunteers and instructors are working together on this one, and we will be checking back in with feedback as soon as we can! You're the best!

Matt and Covenant House do an amazing job with kids that would be lost otherwise. You can find out about the Artisans Program and download their catalogs at www.covenanthousedc.org (http://www.covenanthousedc.org)
