Would be cool if we had a C-hook that did it.

Murlin,

if you can provide me with the details of the functionality you are looking for, I can provide you with such a chook.

 

You want to rename all the operations in a toolpath group to the toolpath groups name?

To do the Operation name, there is functionality in the NET-Hook API.

namespace - Mastercam.Operations
class - OperationsManager
method ->
/// <summary> Sets the program name in the operations. </summary>
///
/// <param name="name"> The name to assign to the operations. </param>
/// <param name="all">  True to process all operations. False to process just the selected operations. </param>
///
/// <returns> The number of operation that were altered. </returns>
int SetProgramName (String name, bool all);

Roger, 

That's neat, so we would need a function to 1.select all the operations by toolpath group

2.store the toolpath group name

3.set the selected ops name

4.next group

I believe there is an overload on one of the groupmanager functions to get the toolpath group

This seems to work okay.

#r"C:/Program Files/Mcam2021/NETHook3_0.dll"
try
{
var grplist =new System.Collections.Generic.List<Mastercam.Support.Group>();
var ops = Mastercam.Support.SearchManager.GetOperations();
Mastercam.Support.GroupManager.GetAllGroups(grplist,false);

foreach(var group in grplist)
{
foreach(var operation in ops)
{
operation.SetSelectedState(false);
}

foreach(var operation in ops)
{
if(group.ID == operation.GroupNumber)
{
operation.SetSelectedState(true);
}
}

Mastercam.Operations.OperationsManager.SetProgramName(group.Name, false);

}
}
catch(System.Exception e)
{
}

Yes...I have had to copy / paste a group of 50 operations and have to make subtitle changes to the toolpaths and rename them into 200 unique ops.

 

So I renamed all the toolpath groups to have a unique name that the customer wants the NC file to be named because he uses a barcode system to

pull these programs to the machine with a certain NC program name.

Much easier to copy/paste than create new tool groups .
