is it possible to flip a tool by certain angle or degrees using NETHOOK. I am trying to access that in facing operation but there is no property to manipulate tool plane. Best regards Tariq

Yes, I am able to access tool info in ToolNET API but the main issue is I want operation info on turning operations and other lathe operations. This doesnt exist in NETHOOK API or ToolNETAPI. Could you help me on how to build an interop dll so that I can the C++ file from the NETHook project in Mastercam.

I really need help in this, as we are working on a thesis project related to turning toolpath integration in multiple CAM systems

Yeah sure, I will keep that in mind.

Looking forward to your help !!Thanks in advance

Hey, I have now posted in mastercam forums under 3rd party development section as you mentioned. The topic is "CREATING TOOLPATHS BY DEFINING LATHE OR TURNING OPERATIONS IN MASTERCAM USING NETHOOK". Best Regards Tariq

The question is posted in the "Post Processor Development Forum" in the section "Mastercam C-Hook, NET-Hook and VBScriptDevelopment". The question is termed "Creating lathe or turning operations in Mastercam using NETHOOK".

Please help me in this regard

See you there. Thanks in advance for the help

I have reposted in the Main mastercam forum, by creating a new topic titled " Creating lathe or turning operations in Mastercam using NETHOOK"

Hey! I am trying to define a turning operation in Mastercam using NETHOOK API. Currently, I am unable to access the tools for performing turning operation, as Mastercam supports only milling operations as default, but we want to work with lathe and millturn operations. All the tools are in the form of mill tools. Is there a method or class to refer and call turning ,roughing and finishing tools (lathe operations, millturn operations). The operations and tools list in Mastercam NETHOOK API are also milling operations. Is there a documentation to refer for turning or lathe operations?

is there a class for modifying and creating turning toolpath operations in Mastercam. Or any form of lathe operations

I am trying to define a turning operation in Mastercam using NETHOOK API. Currently, I am unable to access the tools for performing turning operation, as Mastercam supports only milling operations in terms of tool library. All the tools are in the form of mill tools. Is there a method or class to refer and call turning ,roughing and finishing tools (lathe operations, wire operations).

is there some way to distinguish between the 2 solids as they are both named Solids and it becomes difficult to call them for getting their geometries. I am trying to get geometries from both solids using NET HOOK API
