I've been going through the API for Nethook 3, and I am blown away from all that has been added! Especially with the Tooling!

 

There are a couple of new (related) features I have a question about, tho: 'GetToolsInExternalFile' and 'GetOpGroupDataInExternalFile'.

How are these files generated? Is the Tool File a tooling library?

Mastercam.Support.SearchManager.GetOpGropupDataInExternalFile

"External" file here is an MCX type file; An MCX-7, DEFAULTS-7 or OPERATIONS-7

This method loads up a pair of arrays: ExternalGroupsFileData and ExternalOpsFileData

(declared in the namespace -> Mastercam.Support.Types)

This is so you can interrogate these files without having to actually load them into Mastercam.

 

Mastercam.Support.SearchManager.GetoolsInExternalFile

Similar idea. Returns an array Tool objects (the tools) from "external" the MCX type file.
