Get centerpoint or Center of mass

[Björn Samuelsson]

I am developing functions for Mastercam with Mastercam SDK.

What I am looking for is the marked area in picture below. I want to get the center of mass programaticaly with C# and the SDK.

Below is in swedish, but it is the center of mass I am after. Is there a command or function to get it? I have been able to get all points out of a 2D shape. But now I want the center of the shape.

If someone has the answer I would be very happy!

If you re-post this on the main Mastercam<dot>com forum I would be happy to provide some insight on how this can be done using the API.

Hi,

I replied to your post on the other site,

sorry for the confusion, MastercamForums.com is my organizations support and discussion forum, the official forum is on -> Mastercam.com .

You will need a log in there to access the documentation for building add-ins for mastercam.

Björn,

What version of Mastercam?

Are you wanting to do this with a C-Hook or NET-Hook type add-in?

*You cannot do it directly  using the the NET-Hook API, but with a C++/CLI interop DLL, a NET-Hook "client" add-in can obtain this information.
