Set T/C plane and WCS

[Zoffen]

I am trying this:

 

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.GraphicsView = views[desiredview];

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.CPlane = views[desiredTCPlane];

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.TPlane = views[desiredTCPlane];

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.WorkCoordinateSystem = views[desiredWCS];

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.TPlane.Commit();

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.CPlane.Commit();

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.WorkCoordinateSystem.Commit();

Mastercam.IO.GraphicsManager.Repaint();

 

and it won't set the WCS and the T/C planes

 

How do i make this work?

 

Thanks!

What version of Mastercam?

 

I just tried setting all of the "system" views using X7-MU2 (NETHook v3) and this worked ->

 

MCView myView = CreateView(); // Create a new "custom" view.

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.CPlane = myView;

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.TPlane = myView;

Mastercam.IO.ViewManager.WorkCoordinateSystem = myView;

 

BTW,

The .Commit() commands are not needed in this situation.

You're setting a View to another View.

The .Commit() is only needed when you're creating a new View (plane).

I am using X7 MU2.....but it looks like i'm using teh nethook V2 not V3

 

I'll switch over and see if that helps
