Script to post process

[ikertx0]

Good morning

I have a client for whom I make programs and I need them as follows.

Instead of one program with 38 operations, my client prefers 38 programs, each program with one operation.

If, for example, the first program is number 200001, the last one would be 200038.

Is there a script or a way to do it automatically, postprocess all at once, and generate each operation a program, with that sequence of numbers?

Best regards

set the program number for each op and give them their own file name and it will post like that

establezca el número de programa para cada operación y déles su propio nombre de archivo y se publicará así

 

Thank you very much, I didn't know that :D

@ikertx0 This was pretty straight forward. Here a Nethook which will change program numbers and rename nci from a start number.

Incredible, have you done it? Do I have to place it in Mastercam plugin or other plugin?

It should work in my mastercam/add-ins (at least with 2023)

I want to learn to do that type of scripts, Do you have any information to read about?. I searched but I didn`t find nothing about that.

I program in Visual Studio with Visual Basic .Net

I think it is really good option to customize the program

Good Job

Check out this section of the forum, plenty to sift through.

Documentation is here but you need to login on official website (www.mastercam.com) to have access. There you can download Hook examples (for VB/Csharp/SDK Chooks). You also can make scripts directly in Mastercam with NET-Scripting.

With visual studio you can download templates for Mastercam hook.

Is possible with the free version of Visual Studio?

Or do you need a specific version?
