I have adapted a c-hook developed for mcam 2022 for mcam 2024, and a function stopped working correctly.

I use BreakManyPieces like this:

void splitSpline()
{
  bool succf = false;
  EptrArray ents_to_break, ents_new, ents_wrong;
  BreakManyPiecesParams brk_par(true, 0.02);
  brk_par.m_Curves = true;
  brk_par.m_Dispose = PostBreakAction::Keep;
  brk_par.m_Method = SegmentationMethod::Tolerance;
  ents_to_break.RemoveAll();

  NoStackEnt(entity);
  DB_LIST_ENT_PTR pFound = nullptr;
  DB_LIST_ENT_PTR pDB = db_start;

  do {
    get_raw_ent(false, &pDB, &pFound, &entity, ALIVE_BIT, S_ID | NB_ID, &succf);

    if (succf)
    {
    	ents_to_break.Add(pFound);
    }
  } while (succf);

  if (ents_to_break.GetSize() > 0) {
    auto res = BreakManyPieces(ents_to_break, brk_par, ents_new, ents_wrong);

    //res is true
    //ents_to_break is 1
    //ents_new.count is 2
    //ents_wrong.count is 0
  }
}

This ususally break my splines correctly but in mcam 2024 this happen:
(Original entity)

It breaks this spline in just two lines.

If I do the same operation using the ribbon command with the same parameters it works correctly:

I add a note for future reference if you pass nullptr to the method it would crash, you have to do something like this:

DB_LIST_ENT_PTR e = nullptr;
mirror_silent(&e, true, false, mirrorVector, 1, &succf);

Hi David, 

I can't answer this question here,

If you shoot me an email at [email protected]  I can show you how to resolve your issue,

it may be quite involved work, 

Email sent, thank you

Mastercam 2022,

I have LatheBarStock.dll (provided by cnc software) but it require to manually open and close the stock menu in order to make the settings effective.

I need to set the stock for a lathe, is this possible?
All I can see is MillStock.

I also need to set the chucks, can I do it?

Thanks

Were you able to set up the stock? I'm trying to do the same thing.
