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

This one was covered only a week or so ago, a search should uncover yor answer

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

Did you download the correct "Arc MultiEdit" for X2? It should be the download from the ftp://www.ppcadcam.com/Mastercam_forum/X2_Add_Ons/ folder not from the "Chook folder"

[Bruce Kanzelmeyer]

Thank you Keith! That was the problem...

[TonyNanni@BNB]

were do you put the CUSTOM ADD-IN folder????

[TonyNanni@BNB]

where do you put the "custom add-in" folder

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

'Custom add-in' folder.

 

Also know as the CHooks folder.

The "std" location for CHooks & NETHooks.

I,m still gettin the "unkown file type" error when i run the c-hook ???????

Heavy,

 

Make sure MC is looking to your X2 install folder...not the X install folder. (or whatever version you're running)

 

Taken from Bruce's error message...

IS THE .FT A PARADOX EXTENSION ? BECAUSE WHEN I UNZIPPED THE FILES I GET THE .DLL AND A PARADOX FILE. SORRY FOR THE CAPS no .ft file extension

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

Heavy,

 

Whatever you're doing - stop it!

 

These files from the forums FTP site...

 

Arc MultiEdit (X2).ZIP contains 3 files ->

Arc MultiEdit.DLL

Arc MultiEdit.TXT

Arc MultiEdit.FT

 

And Arc MultiEdit.ZIP contains the same 3 files, except that the DLL is complied for pre-X2 versions of X.

HI roger i'm running mcx mr1 sp2 i downloaded the Arc MultiEdit.ZIP and the 3 files i get are

Arc MultiEdit.DLL

Arc MultiEdit.TXT

Arc MultiEdit (paradox style sheet) ?????

[3rdstring]

Just a guess Heavy but if you open an explorer window with the Multi edit file in them & go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View & make sure the "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked I would bet you'd see the .ft file.

 

Your system may see an .ft file as a Paradox style sheet. Different programs may use the same extension for different purposes.I'm not sure that would cause any problems though, My PC "sees" my post files (.pst) as Office Outlook Data files.

Can we get this chook updated for X2?

 

Thanks

Looks like Rogers already taken care of that. Its in the X2_Add_Ons folder ont the FTP.

Thanks Chuck.

Thanks Roger for chook

I've done what you said Roger chook worked (Yes!) but then it would'nt close.. I had to close it using task manager.
