SetActiveMachine - just what SORT of string?

[rocheey1]

Would this be the filename? with or without the extension? does it HAVE to reside in the default folder MasterCAM searches in? Can you add a drive/dir name ? Im having limited success, it seems to sometimes take a full path name, and other times it pops up a dialog asking me where the machine is stored ...

You should supply it all =>

 

"C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\shared mcamx5\\CNC_MACHINES\\GENERIC FADAL FORMAT_1 4X MILL.MMD-5"

Hi Roger,

 

Thank you very much for your support. Once more I'm asking for your help. I'm with a strange problem relating the above issue.

Somehow when I set the Active Machine, it works on my computer but not on my collegue's...I've alredy checked and the file existes on both of our computers:

"C:\USERS\PUBLIC\DOCUMENTS\SHARED MCAMX6\CNC_MACHINES\CRONSRUD-FANUC-4X-ROUTER.RMD-6"

I've already checked machine definitions window and it is equally configured...

 

I cannot understand how it only works on mine...

What behavior do you see on system where it works vs. the other?

Something's got to be different. Question is - What?

Do they both have a Router license available?

Yes they have the exact configuration...I've changed the code and performed a cycle throught all machine groups in the end to set again the activemachine (althougth it takes longer to load) and now they perform the same.

At first I was setting the active machine like this, is it the right way?:

 

OperationsManager.ActiveMachine = MCNetHookCT.Main.pathActiveMachine

FileManager.[New](False)

Mastercam.Support.MachineDefManager.CreateRouterMachineGroup()

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

Try moving the FileManager.[New](False) command to before the line that is setting the ActiveMachine.

That solved the problem.
