MC EDITOR

[pma]

anyway to disable editor from running after calling PostOps function from a chook?

i've set editNc and editNCI to FALSE in

post dialog settings.

i have save_nc_file and overwrite_nc file set to TRUE.

pma,

 

FYI, I've passed your question "up the chain".

pma,

 

check that bug1$ in the post is set to 0. Mastercam will still try to open the nc file if it's set to 2.

code:

---

 bug1$       : 0     #0=No display, 1=Generic list box, 2=Editor 

---

Bryan beat me to it!

 

Setting 'bug1: 0' in the PST will inhibit X from starting the Editor after posting.

Thanks! works great now.

Roger,

 

I've always wondered, is this a bug or feature?

 

(crickets)

 

It's been a while since I played with this but I seem to remember the logic didn't follow through when posting via Mastercam vs via a chook.

With fastmode on or off:

 

1) bug1 (edit) + mc (no edit): no editor

2) bug1 (no edit) + mc (no edit): no editor

3) bug1 (no edit) + mc (edit): editor

4) bug1 (edit) + mc (edit): editor

 

5) bug1 (edit) + chook (no edit): editor

6) bug1 (edit) + chook (edit): editor called twice

7) bug1 (no edit) + chook (no edit): no editor

8) bug1 (no edit ) + chook (edit): editor

 

in 1-4 above mc handles any discrepancies or overides bug1. Shouldn't bug1 (like the other bus#s) be honored when fastmode is turned off (#1 above) ?

 

in 5-8 bug1 and the chook act independently of each other. Shouldn't bug1 be ignored when fastmode is turned on (5 and 6 above)?

Like pma,

What I saw it my quick 'n dirty test was that if 'bug1 : 2' was set I always got the editor, even if 'editNC = FALSE' was set in the call to PostOps.

And if 'bug1 : 0' was in the PST and 'editNC = TRUE' and did not get the editor. ?!? That's why I sent this inquiry "up the chain".

 

The fastmode setting in the PST does not affect bug1.
