2017 & X9 View Fit Addon


Recommended Posts

There was a C-Hook developed a few years ago that allowed users to bind short cut key commands to actions that would switch to different views and automatically fit the contents to the screen. I re-created the add on as a C# NET-Hook and added support for additional views. I have attached the add on to this post for those who might find it useful.

 

To install:

  1. Save the attached zip file to your desktop and unzip it.
  2. Right click the DLL and the FT file and go to properties and make sure each file is not blocked, if so unblock and apply.
  3. Copy both files to your Mastercam 2017 chooks folder.
  4. Start Mastercam, go to the Ribbon Bar and right click to customize the ribbon, from there you can choose what views you would like keys bound too.
  5. Any questions please reply to this thread.
  6. If you found this add on to be useful please consider leaving some feedback in the very short customer survey in my signature.

Make sure that when you extract the files you do so in a temp folder before copying to the Mastercam CHooks folder because the files will be blocked and will not function.

 

Having said that I was able to created a new toolbar and add the functions as expected. Please see the attached image.

This is the best add on to mastercam and I have been using it from the mastercam x version.

 

I need help getting the add on to work for version X9. 

 

Thank you.

I can not get it to work.in X9. Run user application view fit.dll - result = invalid user application.

 

Thanks anyway

 

Did you unzip to a temp folder then copy to the chooks folder? If not the files will become blocked and wont run. Copy them out to a temp folder and right click each file and make sure they are unblocked, then copy them back.
