Is there a way to get X2 Arc multiedit.dll to work in x3?

[Troy Gossett Indepak Inc.]

"Is there a way to get X2 Arc multiedit.dll to work in x3?"

 

 

It is in the X3 add-on on the FTP /Mastercam_forum/X3_Add_Ons/Arc MultiEdit (X3).zip

[cadcam]

I have tried to use the Multi Arc and get unsupported and does not work.

Any one get it to work in X3?

[Tony35]

i cant get it to work either

i get the following errors

#1 an unsupported operation was attempted

#2 an invalid argument was encountered

[cadcam]

that's what I get.

[DavidB]

I downloaded the Arc multi edit chook yesterday for X3 from the FTP site and works fine. I'm using X3 MU1

 

Its in the X3 add ons folder

HTH

[DavidB]

Today I get the same error as you guys

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

David.

 

It was working and now it's not?

 

Arc MultiEdit.dll

For X3 the id is -> [version: 12.0.4.27]

 

*Is this with X3 or X3-MU1?

This shouldn't make any difference, but it's something we'd need to know.

*Has anything been changed changed in Mastercam?

*Are you using a different setting in the CHook?

Pre-selecting geometry vs. selecting the arcs after starting the CHook, etc.

 

*Exactly when in the process of running the CHook do you get the error?

 

Details please, as without them there is not much I can say except - "it's working fine for me".

its working for me today. i restarted my computer and started with a fresh mcx session and it works.

when it didnt work i had mcx open 2x. i selected the arcs as prompted when i hit the green ok icon or enter i got the errors. i dont know if its because of the first time using it in the system or lack of memory (i regen some toolpaths earlier) i have the same version of the dll you have and using x3 HTH

[cadcam]

Roger I am sending you a video in a few mins. so you can see how I am using this and the issue at hand.

ok i was playing around with the different c-hooks and now multi arc edit wont work

mastercam is only open once, no solids on the screen just some 2d wireframe no restart of computer but i was regen some big toolpaths earlier mcx crashed (slow computer), reopened it and started messing around with the c-hooks and now i get the error

[Paul Felger]

what about the zoom wheel?

x2 had Ai Utility that worked great..

[DavidB]

Roger I downloaded the Arc multi edit chook off the FTP site.

Withg MC closed I installed it, I opened MC set the Arc multi edit icon up into my toolbar state and used it.It worked fine.

 

Next day I came in used MC hit the Arc multi edit icon I got the same two errors as the guys above.

 

YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS GUYS TODAY IT WORKS.

 

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

What I'm guessing (and I do mean guessing) is that these issues may be "part related".

Arc MultEdit does more than just change the size of the selected arcs...

Arcs that are altered may have associations:

So, it must also command Mastercam to ->

*Mark any operations 'dirty' that reference a changed arc.

*Mark any solids 'dirty' that reference a changed arc.

*To update all Drafting in case the arcs being altered have associated dimension(s).

 

So if anyone sees a pattern that involves one of the above - please let me know.

Also, are you see issues in running it with; X3 or X3-MU1 or both?

[cadcam]

Roger did you get my video showing what I did?

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

Jay,

 

Yes, I got it.

 

Looks like you're in Design with no other items (Toolpath, Solids, Dimensions) "associated" with the Arcs.

And the 'Unsupported..." error pops up even before the Arc MultiEdit dialog!

 

I just did a re-install of X3-MU1 and the Arc MultiEdit from the forum FTP site and...

It works for me. No, that doesn't make me happy!

If I could reproduce that error condition, I could then have a idea of where to look for a solution.

 

I'll post updates in this thread when I have any further info or questions.

[Tony35]

when i was messing around with the chooks i was in design mode

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

For all you Arc MultiEdit fans.

 

I've uploaded a rebuilt version (12.0.4.28) of Arc MultiEdit to the X3_Add_Ons folder of the forum FTP site.

 

In the Arc MultiEdit (X3).zip (dated today)

you'll find an .EXE installer package that will install the new Arc MultEdit add-on.

 

*** Before you install this, you will want to uninstall any current version of the add-on.

From Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs, you want to uninstall the “Mastercam X3 (Arc Multi-Edit Add-on)” item. ***
