X7 SDK issue question

[ashjo16]

Hello,

 

This is Ashish again from ISU.(iowa State University)

 

I have migrated our standalone package from X6 to X7 SP2 using X7 SDK(Visual Studio 2010, C++)

 

The only thing remaining is the creating toolpaths.

 

For this, from the SDK I call the following function

 

import_operations (file.GetBuffer(0), origin_pt, op_idn, true, 0, false, true, dup, true, &succf);

 

where the last parameter "succf means successful" is returning true.(from the operations-7 file)

 

However when I call the functions below, it returns succf = false ( which means it didnt work, which I can't recognize why)

 

MC_BOOL succf = true;// initialized as true

ent entity;

DB_LIST_ENT_PTR e_ptr, ptr;

 

get_ent(&ptr, &e_ptr, &entity, SURF_ID|SOLID_ID, &bsuccf);

 

surface_manager(op->op_idn, NULL, SRFMGR_SRF_ADD, 1, &succf); //take all surfaces with select bit on

 

operation_manager (&op, OPMGR_GET, &eptr, &succf);

 

operation_manager (&op, OPMGR_REWRITE, &eptr, &succf);

 

Does anybody know in what case would it return the succf as false.?

 

Prior to X7, the solution to this issue was to uncheck the "Enable Multi-threading" check box in the "Configuration->Tools option" and it would work.

Now it doesnt and I have almost ran out of options to try.

 

Apart from this issue, the mastercam doesnt crash because of my application nor any other weird issue, just that it returns succf as false because of which toolpaths are not created.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

I apologize for long post.

 

ThankYou

Ashish

Another thing I was wondering is that,

 

In X6 it would allow the user to create a operations/defaults file with "high speed surface general toolpaths"

This probably allowed me to choose which high speed toolpath type I wanted using my application through my CHOOK.

 

Is there a way I could do it in X7. because in X6 whenever I try to "reload parameters from Defaults file", it would

switch to general toolpaths, but now I cant find a way to do that.

 

Is there a way I could save the operations/default file with "high speed surface general toolpaths" in X7?

or is there any other option ?

Which of the (4) functions you listed returns "false" ???

i have noclue what this is at all but this line looks like it has a typing mistake

 

 

get_ent(&ptr, &e_ptr, &entity, SURF_ID|SOLID_ID, &bsuccf); !!!this one has a "b" after the & and before the "succf" , the other lines in your post don't have it

To Roger: Thanks for the reply

 

All of the (4) functions listed return false.

 

get_ent(&ptr, &e_ptr, &entity, SURF_ID|SOLID_ID, &bsuccf);

 

surface_manager(op->op_idn, NULL, SRFMGR_SRF_ADD, 1, &succf); //take all surfaces with select bit on

 

operation_manager (&op, OPMGR_GET, &eptr, &succf);

 

operation_manager (&op, OPMGR_REWRITE, &eptr, &succf);

Brandon: Thanks for asking

 

Its not a typing mistake, but just a different name for the boolean variable that is returned by the function!
