How add feature(hole) to mastercam use only chook?

[arenner]

Thanks. I tried a couple of OPMGR_NCI_REGEN in a couple places in the code, but it didn't change anything. I couldn't find draw_bnci in the SDK. Is there a header file for that function?

This function belongs to mccore, however not sure if this is really useful to you...though it was just a guess

Here is the declaration

extern void draw_bnci (ulong op_idn, MC_BOOL

blank, MC_BOOL show_tl)

Alex,

 

Are you trying to add geometry chains for the contour toolpath or boudary chains for the multi surface toolpath?

Thank you Takashi. I'm adding multiple surfaces and toolpath boundaries for a surface rough pocket operation.

 

I was able to get the chain manager and surface managers working with the link that you provide above. I first got those two functions working. I select all my drive surfaces and select the chains I draw. I was able to get this working. The operation regenerated after the surface and toolpath boundary selections were made.

 

However, now after working with you to edit the tool I was using, for some reason these functions do not work, but the tool addition works. If it helps I can send my code to anyone interested. But thanks in advance, I wouldn't have gotten this far without this forum's help.

I was finally able to add surfaces, tools, and toolpath boundaries. You need to add this:

 

op.db.select_flag = TRUE;

 

for my application.

Hi everyone,

 

I am having the same difficulty but now using 2018.
 

The link provided in the discussion (http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=008781#000001) is not available anymore.

 

I am trying to select a chain to be machined after import an operation.

 

Do you have an updated link to the same material or is this material available in any place? This would help me a lot!

 

Tks!
