Hello guys I fixed a bug in Ai_arcedit.dll, (I did not updated the endpoints of arcs..) If you have alreay downloaded/installed the v1.1, please check the file below. Thanks! http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_arcedit.zip I have also updated the install program above. and thank you Roger from CNC Software! Rickster although I have not yet figured out why it does not work with your PC at work, can you try this file? Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) (this is a copy from my HDD) http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/vcredist_x86.exe

Rickster I think you have to install this file. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...4d-389c36f85647 HTH X2MR1 and X2MR2 come with it, but X2SP1 does not.

Rakesh It may be a part of this utility. http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...ic;f=1;t=027797 http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/img/Shellex.JPG

Rickster I think you can select partial chain. try this icon.

Hi Thad, sorry, I didn't see this thread. anyway I made it work for MR2. I've also added some new functions to it. X2MR2 http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utili...2MR2_1_1_en.exe X2MR1 http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utili...2MR1_1_1_en.exe X2 http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utility_X2_1_1_en.exe Please let me know if you have suggestions or find a bug..

singwin, Did you send us a email? if so, We tried sending you emails, but your mail server rejected our email as SPAM.

Add this line in you code if you use C#. using Mastercam.BasicGeometry; And these NetHook2.0 Example files will help you. NetHook2ExampleNetHook2Example5 - Simple Geometry5.2 - The LineGeometry Class.cs NetHook2ExampleNetHook2Example8 - Support8.1 - The SearchManager Class.cs if you are using the Express Edition, it can still compile the code. but it lacks some good features in the Pro/Standard Edition.

Hi You can select a line or just get all lines with SearchManager, then you will get the endpoints from LineGeometry. Line.Data.Point1.x Line.Data.Point1.y Line.Data.Point1.z Line.Data.Point2.x code: GeometryMask Mask = new GeometryMask(false); Mask.Lines = true; LineGeometry SelectedLine = (LineGeometry)SelectionManager.AskForGeometry("Please select one line from the screen.", Mask); if (SelectedLine != null) { string str = SelectedLine.Data.Point1.x.ToString(); DialogManager.OK(str, ""); } DialogManager.OK("Search all lines!", ""); Geometry[] FoundGeo = SearchManager.GetGeometry(Mask); foreach (LineGeometry Line in FoundGeo) { string str = Line.Data.Point1.x.ToString(); DialogManager.OK(str, ""); }

surf_surf_intersect() function is undocumented, and I don't know how to use it..

I'm back and have updated this chook. version 1,0,0,3.. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand_Contour.zip

Thad, I will try your requests after I'm back from Tokyo.(This weekend..)

I have not tried this yet.. code: /** * @par Purpose: * Determine if a surface is planar (flat) * @return TRUE = planar * @param[out] plane_norm if planar, this is the vector perpendicular to the plane * @param[out] plane_pt if planar, this is a point on the plane */ DllImpExp MC_BOOL is_surf_planar(surf_type *psf, p_3d plane_norm, p_3d plane_pt);

Hi Rick, Yes, it will work for XMR1,X2,X2MR1,X2MR2.. Please tell me if you have problems/requests ragarding this chook.

Hello, quote: Takashi does not 'version' his DLLs ;( So all you can do is go by the date on the DLL. Roger, that's why I saved all versions. Sorry, I'm lazy.. I have changed the version number.(version 1, 0, 0, 2, dated:06-22-2007). and I have found/added this variable, and it is not in the chook sdk headers.. code: extern DllImpExp MC_BOOL repaint_toolpath; then, I looked for where repaint_toolpath was changed, code: //repaint_toolpath == FALSE chain_manager_info cmi; memset (&cmi, 0, sizeof (chain_manager_info)); cmi.op_idn = op.op_idn; cmi.mode = CHNMGR_ADD; cmi.chns=chains; chain_manager (&cmi, TP_CHN_ALL, &succf); //repaint_toolpath == TRUE; wh????? when I called the chain_manager function, the variable repaint_toolpath was changed to TRUE. so I changed it back. version 1,0,0,2.. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand_Contour.zip

Hi Thad, I looked at this issue. but I cant figure out the cause so far. so I just run the FT command "Mastercam OnHideToolpath"... extern DllImpExp MC_BOOL display_toolpath; ///< TRUE if the toolpath is to be displayed I think this is the variable for the toolpath display settings, but I didn't touch it in freehand contour chook. anyway, temporary fix will work as you wish. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand_Contour.zip

This one is to pass the lines/chain to a contour operation. ( first you have to select the machine you use. and you have to add a tool for the operation.) http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand_Contour.zip

Sorry again, I fixed a small bug regarding .ft file. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand.zip P.S. Should I create a contour toolpath with the chain of lines?

Matt I have fixed it for using with .ft file. http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...6456;p=2#000050

OK, I have added .FT file. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand.zip (the previous version is supposed to be used by alc+c....) but, I'm lazy and have not created the icon for the chook yet.. there is a program for editing resource data, so you can swap/add the icons/tooltip.. http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ HTH

woot I noticed MouseMchVX_X2_MR1 does the same thing.. http://www.camaix.net/c-hook_downloads_v10.html anyway I have updated it.. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand.zip Press backspace key to undo.. Press Enter/Escape to end it.

Still no luck with latest driver.. http://www.opengl.org/pipeline/article/vol003_7/ I assume that mixing GDI over OpenGL is causing this issue..

I just made this chook. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/img/freehand.jpg http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_Freehand.zip you have to use Cplane=TOP and OpenGL graphics.. edit: Input the Tool dia and select point to move to, and hit escape to create lines..

hi, code: Do you have one for XMR2? Kevin, Here it is. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utility_1_09_en.exe and some information about this chook. http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...2663;p=2#000044 http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...2357;p=1#000005

Rakesh, It is a part of my chooks now. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utili...MR1_1_09_en.exe http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utility_X2_1_09_en.exe

I assume you have to use some functions from GeomSldSolidTmp_ch.h and create temporary surfaces from a solid.
