c-hook doc files gone?

[88Matt]

The c-hook doc files appear to be gone in X. It's not a big deal for the old ones, but what about the new c-hooks?

You should be able to double-click on McamXHelpMCChooks.CHM to learn all you need.

Also, each C-Hook will have a Help button on its dialog.

Hi, that's all been moved to the regular help system. C-Hook dialog boxes should all have help buttons, you can find info on others in TOC or index. There's a help topic, "C-Hooks supplied with Mastercam," that lists about 60 or so.

 

HTH,

Robert

Thanks. I'm printing out the docs for 9.1 into a notebook for quick reference and wanted to do the same for X.

If you look in the TOC for the help system, there's a book called "Customizing Mastercam with C-Hooks and Net-Hooks." Right-click on it and select Print, you'll see an option to print all of the topics in the book, this is a quick and dirty way to accomplish the same thing. When you do this, it actually creates an HTML file in your Temp folder with all the topics in it, so if you're ambitious you can open this and tweak it. Or you can open topics that interest you and print those out individually.
