How can I make a hardware page reflecting the hardware choices that are made in MV
We use a hardware page like the image below. I would like to know if anyone knows of a way that I can attach an image to a hardware item, as well as a title and description. Then the hardware page could be a block with attributes reflecting the hardware that is chosen in the spec group. The title could be the hardware name. Is this possible? Who can give me some info on how to do this if it can be done?

Has anybody made a report to show face 6 tool pathing?
Our operators are constantly coming into the office with questions because there is nothing indicating what face 6 is going to cut. I'm looking for a report that looks just like the nest optimization report, showing all the toolpaths but for the face 6 program(s) and not the face 5 programs. I have zero experience making reports so I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone has made this, and, if so, can I possibly get it from you? Thanks in advance.
