I have programmed a NetHook for Mastercam X MR2 in VS 2003. In this NetHook I used the method:

code:

Mastercam.Chain.ChainAll(false, false, false, geomLevel, true, chainRefs)

to chain all the entities on level "geomLevel" and store the chain (it was always one single chain on geomLevel) in "chainRefs". The entities were chained in the order in which they were created. Therefore I was able to control the direction of the chain by the order of creation.

As I updated this NetHook for Mastercam X2 MR2 in VS 2005 and NetHook 1.0 API I noticed that the chain direction didn't correspond to the order of creation any more. So I can't control the direction of my chain any more. Is there any other way to chain entities in the prefered direction? All the entities are created within the same NetHook so I have their (int) database pointers. I tried to use the method:

code:

Mastercam.Chain.ChainSomeEnts

but was not successful.

To conclude: I'm looking for any way to chain one chain in a known direction.

 

Thank anyone for help.
