MC for Solidworks Nethook

[JasonL]

I just have a simple question. Is it possible to create a nethook for mastercam for solidworks. I guess this would have to be a standalone app?

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

That's currently no possible in MCforSW. Maybe someday...

So is there any API or scripting available for MCforSW at all? If so is there any documentation?

Not at time time. See Pete's reply above.

I am using Solidworks to design my parts and I have the add-in MasterCAM for Solidworks to build my tool-paths and output my g-code. I've tried adding in the MasterCAM X8 post-processor for Mach3 to output my files. I recently saw something about using the update.dll in C-hooks to update the post-processor and I haven't tried this yet. I will be trying it tonight , but I wanted to get this out there to see if anyone knew of a way to get the output for MasterCAM for Solidworks formatted properly. I have noticed that when Mach3 reviews the code in loading that it hangs on what is probably the first IJ command and I wanted to also know if Mach 3 doesn't do IJ interpolation. I've out-put as a standard FANUC post format, and I still have this problem. Could I remedy this by setting all my output to incremental? Just throwing out ideas. Hopefully someone on here knows how to get the correct post-processor for MasterCAM for SW working and I can solve this issue. Thanks.
