LMVUICHARD,

If your customer right clicks on a stock model operation, there is a convert to pmesh function available, the resulting pmesh can be used with the functions ->

Curve All Edges or Silhouette boundary without any API Support.

Sorry, i've send my message before finishing it...

One of our customers ask us to have a small application to automatically create lines on the edges of a stock model manually defined, like this:

With OperationsManager.JobSetupStockOrigin, and OperationsManager.JobSetupStockSize that's easy to done

But one problem remain:

if operator change the stock model origin, how it will be possible to retrieve it?

Thanks in advance...

There is a fix for this in Mastercam 2021.

I would recommend requesting the groupStockAddIn from the sdk team.

The Mastercam::Support::MillStockData class has the info you need.

the StockOriginLocation  holds one of the types listed in -> Mastercam::Support::StockOriginPosition

Example -> Top_LowerLeft;

Older versions that 2021 would require an interop dll build with the chook sdk.

/*Writes the Origin Position of the Stock Used in the Active Machine Group to the Event Logger (MC_LOGR)*/
var data = Mastercam.Support.MillStock.GetStockData();

Mastercam.IO.EventManager.LogEvent(Mastercam.IO.Types.MessageSeverityType.InformationalMessage,"",data.StockOriginLocation.ToString());
