The picture shows the turning operation are using two different WCS.

Thank you for your reply. Crazy^Millman. I just want to ask a simple question. If I want to run the two spindles at same time. If all the operations are turning ones, I can use the "Coordinate" to setup the toolplan origins. So I can get the program origin-54 for Left spindle, G55 for right spindle. It means I can use the tool plane to get what I want. In case of the milling operation are involved, I may use different tool planes for different milling operations. For example, I prefer to use the top face of the slant surface when I do a face milling (3-axis milling) on it. In such situation, I would like to make all operation on one side to have a common WCS. I can calculate the tool positions and vectors on one spindle (both milling and turning) to make them to be relative to the common WCS in post. I hope I explained clearly. Thanks again!

Hello, everybody I have a question about changing the WCS for different turning operations. My millturn machine has left spindle and right spindle. When I'm programing the toolpaths, I prefer to use different WCS for turning operation different spindle. For Milling operations, I can change the WCS easily. For turning, I can't figure out how to do that. But I know somebody can. I got a program from other guy. The turning operations are using 2 different WCS. Another question which is regarding to the WCS is that I always get a warning message telling me I have WCS is different from stock view when I open the program. The operations using different WCS are the milling operations in fact. How can I avoid this message. Thanks in advance. Sigma

No, it doesn't like that. The lines on the page: His Program cannot display the webpage ____________________________________________ Most likely causes: .You are not connected to the Internet. .

I'm working on Vista. I didn't find the Unblock button. I installed from X2 to X5. I can't open this one only.

Thanks. Another problem is I can't open the CHookSDK.chm.

I downloaded mastercamx5-b1-sdk. When I was trying to build my app. I noticed something. 1. I have to update my VS2008 with SP1. Otherwise you will got std::tr1::shared_ptr problem. 2. I had to manully include the header file: #include "ToolPrmClass_LCH.h" in header file "ToolPg_LCH.h" It maybe helpful to you.

Thanks Roger. It works.

Thank you, Thad. Unfortunetly, I am developing a C-Hook. I can't take your method in my software. It is very interesting to know this software you recommended. I will try it in some other situations. Thanks again.

Thanks, Roger. I Hope you can give me a positive answer.

Hello! My problem is that when I select partial operations to generate NCI file, I alway got the "Partial NCI output file" message. How can I get rid of it. For Example: I have a program which has more than one operations. I just want to post-process the first 2 operations. I have the following code: code: operation *temp_op = NULL; for (int i=0; i<TpMainOpMgr.GetMainOpList().GetSize(); i++) { temp_op = TpMainOpMgr.GetMainOpList().GetAt(i); temp_op->db.select_flag = (i<2)? TRUE:FALSE; } post_dlg_settings ps; ps.description = FALSE; ps.editNC = FALSE; ps.editNCI = FALSE; ps.export_oplist = FALSE; ps.export_prm = FALSE; ps.overwrite_nc = FALSE; ps.overwrite_nci = TRUE; ps.save_nc_file = FALSE; ps.save_nci_file = TRUE; ps.send_to_machine = FALSE; ps.wcs_1014 = TRUE; char pf[MAX_PATH]; char ncdir[MAX_PATH] = "C:"; strcpy_s(pf, PostProcFileStr(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL)); postOps(&ps, pf, ncdir, FALSE, TRUE); Any suggestion will be appricated. Thanks!

Sorry for smokey_44. I stopped this application by NetHook(VB). I have trouble in retrieving operation list from Mastercam. I can do it By C-Hook. I have been so busy for this year. My manager isn't happy with me if I do something else. Another problem is that I can't upload any file to outside of the company because of the security reason. I'm trying to find another solution. Sorry for everybody to let you wait a long time.

quote: after processing the last group, pGroup was set to NULL without any error. But I will change my loop to check for the number of groups. The reason I did it that way was that the code needs to work for X, X2, X3 and X4. Would you mind tell me how to integrate all the projects together. I have to develop the C-Hooks for X2 and X3 in VS2005, and these for X4 in VS2008. It is very good to keep them together especially in one solution. Can I use VS2008 to develop C-Hooks for X/X2/X3. Sorry for interupting your thread.

What I did for X4 is as following: code: op_group *cur_group = NULL; for(int i=0; i<TpMainGrpMgr.GetMainGrpList().GetSize(); i++) { cur_group = TpMainGrpMgr.GetMainGrpList().GetAt(i); // Process_Function(cur_grop); } It works well.
