Hello, In my CHook project, when i use child classes of TlToolMill (TlToolEndmill/TlToolReamer) i have some compilation error: >main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall TlToolEndmill::~TlToolEndmill(void)" (??1TlToolEndmill@@UAE@XZ) 1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall TlToolEndmill::TlToolEndmill(void)" (??0TlToolEndmill@@QAE@XZ) I'm just declaring a TlToolEndmill variable: TlToolEndmill endmTool; I dont have problem when i use the TlToolMill class. Which library had to be referenced in my project? I've referenced all the .lib that i could find in the sdk/debug directory with no effect: mastercam.lib mccore.lib UICtrls.lib MCMachineDef.lib MCMill.lib MCCE.lib MCControl.lib MCGeomSld.lib MCIk.lib MCKernel.lib MCLathe.lib McMatss.lib MCMSurf.lib MCMultiax.lib MCPost.lib MCPrvVerFile.lib MCRouter.lib MCRtClasses.lib MCUI5Ax.lib MCVerify.lib MCWire.lib Did i miss something? Thanks for your help.

Ok thanks for your quick reponse. I will contact you by email.

Hello, I have to develop an interface between MasterCAM and our Tool Database System. So i need to transfert Tool and Holder descriptions from our software to MasterCam. By using the NetHook API i've seen that the tool creation is easy (EndMillFlatTool, etc...) but i can't find how to manage the Tool Holder: -the default holder parameters ( Holder Length and diameter) displayed in the "Define Tool" window -the holder stored in a holder library is it possible to do that with the NetHook API or do i have to use the CHook API? Thanks for your help. PS: I'm using the X5 MU1 version.

Thank You

Hi, I need to build an user interface with the list of the solids. So i would like to know, how to get the name of all the solids which are present in a MasterCam Project. I don't know if the NetHook permit this (i don't think) or if i need to call a CHook. But i don't know where i should search, if somebody can't help me ! Thank You, Best Regards

Finaly, Create a CHook,which is managed by a NETHook it's the best way to get more information about the MasterCam's object. Thanks to Roger Martin for his help.

I try to create a CHook wich retrieve this specific information and pass it back to my NETHook as well. It's may be easier. thanks !

Thanks Roger, In fact i would like to get the infos in the struct "group_pg3" which is in "op_group_info", which is in "op_group", And in the MCCore.dll i found the function : op_group* TpGrpList::GroupByName(char *Name) With the EntryPoint = "?GroupByName@TpGrpList@@QAEPAU_op_group@@PAD@Z". So i try that in my C# code : code: [DllImport("MCCore.dll", EntryPoint ="?GroupByName@TpGrpList@@QAEPAU_op_group@@PAD@Z")] private extern static IntPtr GroupByName(ref string Name); I'M NOT SURE OF THE PARAMATER(ref string Name) AND THE RETURN(IntPtr) ////////////// code: private int GetStockInfo(string NameMachine) { IntPtr iIntPtr = IntPtr.Zero; try { MessageBox.Show(NameMachine, "NameMachine"); //for DEBUG iIntPtr = GroupByName(ref NameMachine); MessageBox.Show(NameMachine, "NameMachine"); //for DEBUG MessageBox.Show(iIntPtr.ToString(),"IntPtr"); //for DEBUG ... ... } catch (Exception e) { (...) } finally { //clean up memory if (iIntPtr != IntPtr.Zero) Marshal.FreeHGlobal(iIntPtr); } } But finally i get the three messages box : DMU_50_EVOLUTION //It's my Machine : OK DMU_50_EVOLUTION //It's my Machine : OK 0 //Null Pointer (i don't understand) Can you please give more informations about my problems ? Does the EntryPoint change with the version of the dll ? And to get the infos in group_pg3 with the "Pointer" ? do i must define the structure like this : code: [structLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct _op_group { public int grp_idn; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = MAX_GROUP_NAME + 1)] public char[] name; public int parent_grp_idn; (...) public op_group_info ogi; } AND code: public struct op_group_info { (...) [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct)] public group_pg3 pg3; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct)] public group_pg4 pg4; } ; AND ETC... ? Thanks for your answers!

Hi, i need help, i use NetHook (NETHook2_0.dll) with MicrosoftVisual C# 2008 and the MasterCam X3. i would like get infos about stock-setup in a MachineGroup i can get "JobSetupMaterial", "JobSetupStockOrigin", "JobSetupStockSize" but i don't find how to get : the type of shape, if the shape is file ,the path of the "stl" file, ... thanks, Thomas
