Proper debugging procedure in C++ c-hooks

[Evgueni]

It will be highly appreciated if someome can explain to me what is the proper procedure for debugging C++ c-hooks in VS. Per my inderstanding it should be done in this way:

- change mode from Release to Debug

- set some breakpoints

- compile and dll file will apead in Debug folder

- run dll in MC and hopefully VS envipoment will appear at the first breakpoint?

Is it correct? So far it does not fork for me. What I am missing?

Thanks in advance for your help

What are your debug settings in your project?

You need to set the proper start program to the Debug Mastercam supplied with the SDK.

Set the startup folder to your std Mastercam install folder.

Fire off a debug session in VS (F5) and be sure that you run the debug DLLversion of your project that was just built.

Thanks, Roger, for your reply! What should be proper debug settings? How to set the proper start program?

Here is an example of the Debugging settings in Visual Studio for X6 (64-bit).

Of course if...

You are running 32-bit Mastercam you would not have the x64 in the Command path

or if you have the SDK of Mastercam loaded somewhere else on you system, you'll need to adjust those paths.
