Coolant

[Andy SwE]

Hi All,

 

I have create a chook (VC++2003) for create milling-tools. (MasterCam X MR2)

The chook for ToolInterface works fine but only the coolant property NOT.

I can set what I want (1,2,3), always is it "off=(0)" .

I use follow struct :

 

tp_tool McTool;

McTool.op.coolant = 1; //0=off 1=Flood,2=Mist,3=spindle

 

 

Nothing happens,, all other properties there is no problem, please advise me for the correct coolant-datafield.

 

Thanks

Hi, andy

In v9 chook, coolant is (1,2,3)..

but in X it is not like before.

 

 

I've not checked code below.

it would be like this..

 

 

McTool.op.coolant=CFLAG_COOL_MIST|CFLAG_COOL_TOOL;

 

McTool.op.coolant |= CFLAG_COOL_FLOOD;

 

to check if coolant is on/off

code:

---

operation op;

////blah

if(op.tl.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_OFF){;}

if(op.tl.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_FLOOD){;}

if(op.tl.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_MIST){;}

if(op.tl.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_TOOL){;}

 

 

tl_list *tl;

//list_manager (TL_ID, ToolLibrary().GetBuffer(0), LSTMGR_GET, (void **)&tl);

list_manager (TL_ID, "", LSTMGR_GET, (void **)&tl);//current tool library

while (tl != NULL)

{

//op.tl.ltool

if(tl->tl.op.tlno==op.tl.tlno)

{

 

//tl->tl.op.coolant;

if(tl->tl.op.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_OFF){;}

if(tl->tl.op.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_FLOOD){;}

if(tl->tl.op.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_MIST){;}

if(tl->tl.op.coolant&CFLAG_COOL_TOOL){;}

 

break;

}

 

tl=tl->next_ptr;

}

list_manager (TL_ID, "", LSTMGR_FREE, (void **)&tl);
