Multi edit

[JohnW@Kauffman]

Yes, I can clearly see in your example that the two circles are different, but on my system it doesn't work. I also tried regenerating the op even though it doesn't show dirty. Still doesn't work. Here's what I get when I draw (2) 2.0" holes, ArcMultiEdit the first to 2.25, select the op, regen.:

I also tried rechaining the first hole, regen. No difference. I'll keep playing around with it and looking into my settings.

John,

 

There is no system "setting" that should affect this.

I'll look into it further.

[JohnW@Kauffman]

Thank you for your help.

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

It's new!

It's hot!

It's better than what you've got!

 

Get the new Arc MultiEdit.ZIP in the C-hooks folder on the forum FTP.

Roger,

 

does the new MultiEdit work with solids. With the old one the solid did not change when the acrs changed.

Roger,

It looks to me to be the same file. Maybe you sent it before the coffee kicked in?

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

This new Arc MultiEdit does not work with Solids. That's someting that still needs to be looked into.

 

I wanted to get this latest version available ASAP to address the toolpath issue that John brought up. (As that could bite you in the a@#&^)

 

I just pulled the ZIP down from the C-Hook folder of the forum FTP to double check and...

The Arc MultiEdit.DLL in the Zip in dated 9-18-2006 10:00pm and the 'File Version' tag is 10.2.2.34 - Which is corrrect.

[JohnW@Kauffman]

Roger,

 

That's it! Gave it a quick try and seems to work perfectly. Thanks!

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

All,

 

A new update for you.

 

I looked into the Solids issue and I think I got it nailed.

This latest version (10.2.2.35) of the Arc MultiEdit add-on should have the same affect on referenced items (toolpath and/or solids) as would altering an arc using the Analyze feature in X, except of course that you can do as many arcs at the same time as you wish.

 

Enjoy...

Thank you Roger

[Span]

Thanks Roger, works great. I guess it was my coffee that failed, downloading with firefox which must have the old version cached somewhere.

thanks roger

[Thad]

Cool, Roger. Thanks!

MCX MR1

i unzipped to the c-hooks folder and when i try to use i get "unknown file type" error box ???

[edmBosto]

Heavy,

Put the Chook in a folder and call it Custom add-in.

Take a look at the txt. file that came with it.

You also need to restart mastercam.

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

MR1

 

I do not know if it will work with MR1.

If it does, great!

If not... MR2 is the answer.

That is not correct.

 

There is no need to rename.

 

From the txt file,

quote:

---

To install:

Copy the ‘Arc MultiEdit.dll’ and ‘Arc MultiEdit.ft’ files into the folder Custom Add-in (aka. CHooks) file path.

---

Just put the .dll and .ft files into the mastercam/Chook folder.

 

Thanks roger works a treat

[b_daddy]

Thanks Roger,

 

Works great!

[HEAVY METAL]

i will give this a try tomorrow when i get back to work thanks

[edmBosto]

David,

Thanks, It's not unusual for me to misinterpret instructions. Although what I did does work, but you are correct.

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

FYI...

 

New Arc MultiEdit available in the C-Hooks folder of the forum FTP site.

 

Arc MultiEdit.ZIP for Mastercam X

 

Arc MultiEdit (X2).ZIP for Mastercam X2

 

Even though the DLLs are named the same you can tell which one is for X2, as its version tag starts with '11.0.x.x'.

 

For you who already have this add-on, the only functional change is it now instantly updates any associated drafting dimensions that are affected by the change of an arc.

[cadcam]

I have Hole axis for X2 let me see if theis is ok with Verisurf to hand it out.

[cadcam]

Roger I moved the file to the X2_add_ons folder that you asked for.

[HEAVY METAL]

i.m gettin an error of unknown file type -running x mr1 sp2. dows this only work in mr2?

 

thanks heavy

[Bruce Kanzelmeyer]

Just unzipped latest version of Arc MultiEdit (Oct 20) into my recently installed (this morning) version of X2 and get following error when opening MX2--

 

"Error Report Dialogue: ERROR (L16,C:mcamxCHOOKSArc MultiEdit.ft): Unable to open resource module chooksArc MultiEdit.dll

 

Also, when I try to run X+, I get some error about recompiling--anyone else having issue with X+ setup sheets?
