About Net Hook development

I downloaded the Nethook_2.0 Examples.

It is very good, very easy to use.

 

I wrote some Nethook test program. I got some questions for that.

 

The following is a typical one.

 

Purpose: I want to retrieve all the Centerdrill properties (including the hoder) from Mastercam.

 

I declare a variable of Centerdrill class. like following:

code:

---

Dim aCenterdrill as Mastercam.Tools.CenterdrillTool = new Mastercam.Tools.CenterdrillTool()

---

Try to look all the properties of the variable "aCenterdrill". It has the properties inherited from Class "Tool" only. They are:

CornerRadius;

Diameter;

DiameterOffset

FluteLength;

Length;

LengthOffset;

Name;

Number;

ShoulderLength;

 

How can I get the properties special for Centerdrill, such as "Shoulder angle" and "Tip angle".

 

All the other tools are the same thing.

 

I checked the C-Hook help document. I can get relative infomation about the "Tip angle" etc.

 

I am a freshman on NetHook development. Maybe I am taking the wrong way to retrieve the tool properties.

 

I hope somebody can answer me about that.

 

Thanks in advance.
