Howdy everyone,

 

Is there any way to tell the post processor to post all operations to a specific file name? I know I can set the file path like this:

Mastercam.Operations.OperationsManager.PostAllOperations(string filePath);

But I'm looking more for:

Mastercam.Operations.OperationsManager.PostAllOperations(string 
filePath + filename.Extension);

Below is a snippet of code from a function, it shows how to set the nci name 

 internal static void CreateNci(Part part, string outputFolder)
        {
            OperationsManager.SelectAllOperations();
            var opsToPost = SearchManager.GetOperations(true);
            var nciFileName = part.PrimaryMastercamDrawingFilePath.ToLower().Replace("." + Globals.ExtMcx, "." + Globals.ExtNci);

            // Set the job setup stock per User Story B-31592
            OperationsManager.JobSetupStockSize = new Point3D(part.Panel.X, part.Panel.Y, part.Panel.Z);

            FileManager.Save();

            foreach (var t in opsToPost)
            {
                t.NCIName = nciFileName;
                t.Commit();
            }

            OperationsManager.PostOperations(opsToPost, outputFolder, false, true, false);

            // Some operations will be marked dirty for whatever reason, so just regen them
            foreach (var t in opsToPost)
            {
                t.Regenerate();
            }
        }

Quite similar to Mick's, this is the function I wrote and use in my current project.

 

Also, I have multi-threading disabled in Mastercam for toolpath generation. This is to ensure all regeneration is complete before posting.

(See here for more info)

public static bool regenAndPost(string fileName, bool onlySelected){
            string pathNCI = System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension(fileName,".nci");

            Mastercam.Database.Operation[] allOps = Mastercam.Support.SearchManager.GetOperations(onlySelected);

            foreach (var op in allOps)
            {
                op.NCIName = pathNCI;
                op.Commit(false);
                if (op.Dirty)
                {
                    op.Regenerate();
                }
            }

            foreach (var op in allOps)
            {
                op.Retrieve();
                if (op.Dirty)
                {
                    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Error - dirty operation. Try again.");
                    return false;
                }
            }

            Mastercam.Operations.OperationsManager.PostAllOperations(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(pathNCI), true); 
            Mastercam.Operations.OperationsManager.RefreshOperationsManager();
            return true;
        }
