Hi Roger, I've checked again and the debugging properties are good, but the warning message pops up even then.

Yes, in V9 this code worked: list_manager(TL_ID, tool_library, LSTMGR_GET, (void**)&tl_head); And tl_head is defined as: tl_list *tl_head; And yes, if I run my C-hook from within a session where some operations are defined then the null string returns the tool list currently used by the operations.

Hi all, I am porting a Mastercam9 chook to X2 and there is a function list_manager() which has library name as its second argument. What is this library name supposed to be? I have tried "D:MastercamX2MillToolsTools.tools" "MillToolsTools.tools" "Tools.tools" "Tools" "" - null string where Tools.tools is my tools library and its in "D:MastercamX2MillTools", but this function always gives back NULL pointer that is given as its fourth argument. Following is the code tl_list *tl_head list_manager(TL_ID, "Tools.tools", LSTMGR_GET, (void**)&tl_head); whats wrong? please help Thank you

Thanks for replying I meant the usual folder for the sdk. sorry for the wrong information. Anyway, I did as you said but now first I get the following message from Visual Studio "Debugging information for 'Mastercam.exe' cannot be found or does not match. No symbols loaded. Do you want to continue debugging?" (And I am sure I am using the mastercam.exe from the debug folder) If I ignore this message and try continuing then I get the following warning "Warning D:mastercamx2sdkdebugCommonFontsfont0.fnt not found" Could you please help me with this? Thanks once again

Hi, I am trying to debug my CHook being written in visual studio 2005 for mastercamX2(11.0.3.25) but I get the following error: "The procedure entry point ?SetDebugString@@YAXQAD_N@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Mastercam.exe." I have installed my sdk in the same folder where mastercam is installed. What I did is I backed up mastercam.exe and copied the debug versions of files(BackPlotD.dll, BackPlotResD.dll,mastercam.exe - debug version)into the mastercam installation folder. After that when I tried debugging the above error popped up. Can anybody point to me what is going wrong? Thanks

1) Both the operations uses the same tool and I can specify the speed feed with the tool only, So it is going to use the same value for both the operations. How can I specify Operation specific feed-speed for same tool? 2) I do create different Tool Planes for different faces (LEFT, Top, Front etc). But when I post it I get NC code face wise. Do I need to use some special post (custom) to machine multiple faces simultaneously? I am new to Master CAM and I am a software programmer automating the creation of hydraulic manifold CAM Model in Mastercam from a CAD Model. Thanks.

Hi all, I have Step drill (Form tool) to drill up to, let us say, 4.5" deep. I want to change (decrease) the speed-Feed when the tool reaches, let us say, 3.5". I am very new to MasterCAM, is there a method to configure two speed feed for an operation Or How can I get this change in speed feed? Another ? is I want to drill holes (1/2" dia 2 Deep) on three faces of block, I want the center drill to create center marks on all the three faces in one go and change the tool to 1/2" Drill and do the drilling. How can I do this in MasterCAM? Thanks!

Same result! I tried using "op.slot" but no sucess!

At present I am using the following method to change the tool # tl_list *tl_move; ..... tl_move->tl.op.tlno = ToolNumber ....

Hi All, When I change the tool number from my c-hook program in Mastercam 9, the Changed tool #(let us say #2) appears in tool # text box in tool parameters section (current tool library) but the old number (#1) appears in the tool descrption with the tool image. How can I change the tool # properly using c-hook? Thanks,

Hi All, I need to convert my V9 c-hooks to X. I didn't receive x sdk. Is there any download available? Thanks, BGeorge
