Move the Insert Arrow in a C-Hook

[Chris_G]

Hi!

 

I am searching for a way to move the Operations Manager's red insert arrow with a C-Hook.

 

I am editing / regenerating pre-existing operations in the Operations Manager, but need to position the insert arrow just ahead of the operation for these changes to work.

What are you doing that you need to do this? ->

Do you have multiple Machine Groups?

Good call. Yes I do have multiple Machine Groups and upon further testing, I only experience problems when the insert arrow is located in a different Machine Group than the operation that the C-Hook is editing.

 

These are lathe operations where the stock is different for each Machine Group, so I need to somehow make sure operations stay associated with the correct stock model.

For setting the default (active) Operation (aka.Machine) Group I believe you can use this ->

long SetDefaultOperationGroup(long GroupID);

Declared in TpGrpList_CH.h

Thanks Roger. This does move the insert arrow to the specified Machine Group.
