SetEntityFromEptr

[arenner]

I'd like to use something like this:

 

SetEntityFromEptr()

Call RunMastercamCommand("ExtrudeSurface")

 

(in VB) to bring up the extrude manager for a specific entity. I have 3 arcs, and assumed that inserting an integer value from 1-3 would have selected one, but it didn't. (I'd like it not to ask me to select a chain). I'm not familiar with how the entity pointers work, and after searching this forum have not understood them any further.

 

Related to this question. Would it be possible to have a c-hook select an entity and run the extrude function without bringing up the manager? I'm going to extrude a certain amount each time, on the same axis, in the same direction, so I don't need to extrude manager.

 

Please excuse my newbie-ness, thanks.
