Lathe in NET-Hook

[Iulian FILIP]

Hello,

 

There are examples for lathe usage using NET-Hook?

 

Best regard,

No - The NET-Hook API supports (2D) Mill/Router operations.

There are examples for lathe usage using C-Hook?

Examples of doing "what"?

 

Details please ....

Select the machine, define the stock, select the VPlane and TPlane, select a chain(s) define a tool, define an operation, attach the tool to operation, generate the G-Code.

Select the machine, define the stock, select the VPlane and TPlane, select a chain(s), define a tool, define an operation, attach the tool to operation, generate the G-Code.

 

“define the stock” => Cannot do this programmatically.

I always suggest not doing this.

This is much more involved to do and you end up with a “hard-coded” add-on.

Every time you need to tweak something, you end up having to rebuild the add-on.

If you reference an operation from an OPERATIONS library file, all you need to do 98% of the time is adjust the parameters and/or tool in that “template” operation.

What you want to do is import the operation (which has the tool) and then have the add-on gather up the chains, programmatically (if possible) or by prompting the user to select them.
