VBScript & "RunMastercamCommand"

[arenner]

Reading through some of the VBScript posts, I've seen this syntax:

 

"RunMastercamCommand()"

 

I've seen it used for running MC specific executables. I'm looking for a list of available commands that I could use inside the parentheses above. Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

Along the same lines, it would be nice to find a way to perform the "Run User Application" (chook) function from a VBScript.

This is a good question for the Developers Forum.

The 9000 varaibles in the TXT are there for 9 and then need to look in the CFG for ones that will work in the ones in X.

John - Good idea, it's over at the Developer's forum.

 

Crazy^Millman - I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure if you mean that there is a .txt file for the commands I'm looking for, or if you meant something different by TXT. I'll look into the config file though. Thanks for the input.

It might not be the best place to look, but it's where we found the command when we wrote our first VB script. Open up your mastercam.ft file with a text editor. This file can be found in the root MC install directory. You'll find command names in there.

Hey Thad, thanks. That's what I was exactly looking for. And I think "mastercam.ft" is what Crazy^Millman was referring to when he mentioned a text file. So I got it all figured out now, thanks for all your help.

Glad to help and welcome to the forum!

 

There was a member here a few years ago from Ames, IA. I can't remember his user name though.

Thad, that was probably Josh Adams (don't know his user name though). He was a comp sci guy helping with our research. I've taken over some of what he worked on.

I will give this tip. Do a search for this I found over 20 topics and I know the list for 9 is in there. I had to dig into the cfg file in X to see what they were using for a capture script not to long ago.

Will do. Thanks for the help.
