Creating Toolpath Groups with VB

[MLewis]

Anyone know if there is a way to create toolpath groups using VB?

 

CreateGroupFromName(strOP1) creates a machine group.

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

CreateGroup()

 

This will create a toolpath group from the active machine, call it after a call to NewMC or OpenMC or Importfile.

 

To specify a machine def other than the active pass in a path to the one you want to SetActiveMachine()

 

code:

---

Call NewMC(False)

Call SetActiveMachine(C:Mastercam X MR1CNC_MACHINESROUTER 5-AXIS HEAD-HEAD.RMD")

Call CreateGroup

Mick, Thanks for the response but I get a Variable is undefined 'CreateGroup' error ?

 

my code:

 

Call NewMC(False)

Call SetActiveMachine("C:mcamxcnc_machinesCMTC MULTI-HEAD.RMD")

Call CreateGroup

How would I rename the newly created toolpath group?
