AI Utility Chooks

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

Hello guys

 

I'm going to write update/bugfix logs of my chooks in this thread.

 

You can also read about my chooks here. Ai Utility Introduction

 

Well, another bug is reported regarding ai_bkcolor.dll, I'm trying to fix it now., and

I will upload new one tomorrow.

Sorry for inconvenience.

if you find any bugs, please report the problem here, and stop using this utility until I fix them.

 

Any requests/suggestions/bug reports are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

MasterShake,

 

We've been getting this error since installing version 1.03.

 

 

For example, open a new file. Create a rectangle. Close the file and don't save. After MC closes, this error pops up. I can repeat it every time. I have not seen this prior to installing V1.03.

Hi Thad

 

Could you try this new one?

I'm sorry for problems.

 

http://www.ai-sols.co.jp/eng/download/AI_Utility_1_05_en.exe

 

And do you have same spare time to evaluate the other chooks?

I'm working at translation of japanese text to english.

I can send you a chook and the 30 days trial code if you want.

[Thad]

I tried V1.05 and still get this error.

I can probably work it in. Send me the chooks and codes.

 

I have downloaded the delete blanked entities chook but have not used it yet.

MasterShake,

 

Do you get the same errors as I do? If not, maybe it's something on my end.

Thad

Could you try uninstall/install again?

after that,if you are still getting error,

please delete ai_*.ft files one by one to know which chook cause this error.

bacause mastercam.exe looks for *.ft files on start up, read them and load res_dll and func_dlls,

if there is not *.ft file, chook dll will not be loaded in memory.

So, I looked in my code, fixed same code, and error is gone.. I thought..

 

I will look my code again.

 

Thanks

My boss won't allow me to share that. If you question my legitmacy (which is acceptable), I had to submit my sim # to In-House Solutions in order to get my avatar. If you require it for the timed chook, we'll have to come up with another method or I'll have to decline.

 

Thad

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

I was having supper..

 

yep,you need validated hasp and and timed access code only for it.

recently,some resellers and end-users are evaluating them.

 

this is a test chook program to check if your video card does support hardware shading.

btw, version 1.05 did not work for you?

[Colin Gilchrist]

MasterShake,

 

You've got mail!

 

I'd be happy to test your chooks. Just let send me an email.

 

Thanks,

P.S. Thad, why would sharing your sim # be any kind of a worry? Its not like anyone can do anything with the number...

There must be some kind of concern since they get removed by the moderators if anyone posts them here at the forum. And last, but not least....he's the boss.

[Colin Gilchrist]

Gotta maintain control somehow....

It's the ai_bkcolor.dll causing the problem.

 

Thad

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

Thank you Thad.

I'll fix it as soon as possible,

I think the way creatig its own ribbonber is cousing the problem.

it may be better to make ai_bkcolor.dll without ribbonbar.

 

Thank you for using my chook and bug reports

 

 

Colin

you got mail back,

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

Thad

 

I removed ribbonbar of logo and link.

Could you try this one?

until I fix the problem, please be patient.

Thank you

I've added menu and eMastercam.com link at Mainmenu of mastercam

MasterShake,

 

The new ai_bkcolor.dll seems to work OK. I'll have to try V1.06 in a little while.

No problem. Thanks for working on this.

 

Thad

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

Thank you Thad.

I'm glad to hear it.

[Thad]

I've got V1.06 installed on a couple seats now and everything works fine so far. I'm going to install it on the rest of the seats.

 

I kinda liked the clock where you had it since we keep the taskbar hidden. That's not a big deal though.

 

Is the scroll mouse speed supposed to affect all applications, or just MC? Just asking.

 

I'd be interested to hear some specific examples of how you, or anyone else, use the key events. I understand what they do from your previous posts. I was just wondering if there was a way for us to incorporate using them for our applications.

I bind the key f12 as VK_RETURN_ESCAPE,

when I make spline, click spline nodes and I come to the end point of the spline, I press F12 key.

 

 

and I use EVENT_RB_7 in Ai_Xmenu.txt as example.

RB_7 is command of clicking button #7 of ribbonbar.

 

BEGIN COMMAND TrimDivide

Mastercam sketcher_trim_1

KeyEvent EVENT_RB_7

END

if I find a stable way, I will put the clock back.

Note:

I recompiled my utility with X2 SDK.

Please tell me if you notice something.

 

Thanks

[Richard Bechard]

Thanks this is a nice utility. I especially like the screen image with white back ground and the calc.Looks like you got the clock back.

 

Thanks Rich

Using X2, Firefox is my default browser.

 

From the Ai Utility Drop down the Ai web link and the eMastercam link aren't working.
