donet, c++ will can do it,I think the mp not support this method

Thank you Sir. Yes, you're right. I changed the first parameter to a null pointer, and the result was what I wanted

Mastercam 2022 or late version, the CInterrogateMastercamFile function is change? chooks 2021 code update to 2022, the CInterrogateMastercamFile function error? how to fix this error, thanks. CInterrogateMastercamFile fileInterrogator CString mcxFileName = _T("E:\\Mastercam\\mc\\2023-08-26.mcam");//full path CLibraryOperation::EntAllocation entAllocation = CLibraryOperation::EntAllocation::LoadAndKeep;//LoadAndFree,LoadAndKeep bool kk = fileInterrogator.CInterrogateMastercamFile::Load(mcxFileName, entAllocation); bool isLoad = fileInterrogator.IsLoaded(); bool isExterlfile = fileInterrogator.IsExternalFile();

Chook - How to Move solid To origin? If the solid not at the origin, want to move to the origin,? I found the translate_silent function, but is not work. function method translate_silent(&foundSolid,false,0, point1, point2, 1, 1, &succf,true); thanks. vs2019 + mastercam 2022

OK, Thank you Sir, I'll re-post on Mastercam forum

Hi Sir: I am learing c-hooks programming, I want to get the solid part pocket bottom depth, I can use u.sld.min[2] get the solid minmum z, But i dont kow use which function get procket depth. Thanks.

Thank you for your help, But I want to achieve is that each time click a operation and get the parameters of the current operation, not looping to get the parameters of all operations

1,get all operation z max,z min write to buffer and call step 3 2,get all tool number write to buffer 3,get every tool parameter(diameter, radius,loc,ovl,z-min,ect..) and write to buffer 4,read buffer and write to nc code

Below has NetHooks get selection operation parameter shown MainView, but only get one operation, if selection other operation show error and the parameter not update, I don't know where is error 'Option Infer On ' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ' <copyright file="NETHookMain.vb" company="CNC Software, Inc."> ' Copyright 2014 CNC Software, Inc..

the mpmatster post, how to added work offset shift value, I use tox4$,toy4$,tox4$,but not change the postion.

i use fq parameter input toolplane z axis offset 30mm, but i don't know the post how to calce rotary angle

i want get Minimum Z by every operation for vb.net. but Z minimum is wrong value . below code vb.net 2013 & mastercam X9 For Each op As Mastercam.Database.Operation In Mastercam.Support.SearchManager.GetOperations(True) sTool_min = op.GetMinimumZ() msgbox(sTool_min) Next

Hi: I use vb.net 2013 &mastercam X5 create Rectangle and Create 2D toolpath, but the toopath always fail,I tried to debug, but I failed. thanks WindowsAppVB.rar

Create Chinese single line word vb.net 2010 mastercam x5 thanks

The post is ok. Thank you so much. too

thanks a lot . but post process fail，error msg "ERROR-THE TOOL CAN NOT BE POSITIONED WITHIN MACHINE ROTARY LIMITS"

The vertical 5 axis machine, A axis rotary X axis ,B axis rotary Y axis， B axis zreo on XY plane （parallel Z axis）,B limit +45 to -110.（same as BC axis type） How can i configure rotaxis1$,rotdir1$,rotaxis2$,rotdir2$. see below picture picture show as B axis zero thanks

vb.net2013 how can get mastercam.exe version number.below code can't get version number,thanks Public Overrides Function Version(mc_version As Integer) As Integer DialogManager.OK(Version, "Version Number") Return MCamReturn.NoErrors End Function

no any parameter

I don't know where the problem is, and if you can provide a similar method or code, thank you very much. in vb.net source code Public Overrides Function Run(ByVal param As Integer) As MCamReturn Dim username As String Dim strComputerName As String username = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERNAME") strComputerName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("COMPUTERNAME") 'DialogManager.OK(username + vbCrLf + strComputerName, "Logname") PostingManager.PostProcessorArguments = Val(username) Return MCamReturn.NoErrors End Function in mpfan.pst source code sparams : "" # Will be the command parameter line passed to the DLL strDll : "C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx5\chooks\Logname.dll" #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Below code added your post same location #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- pheader$ #Call before start of file result = dll(strDll,sparams) *sparams,e$ error info

i need template for this method, i want get computer logname return to mastercam x5 post,thanks

i use vb.net devlopment dll ,i defined ico file, but not show my define ico see below picture

i want to know how to use vb.net devlopment dll link post for sample,that how can do it ?

I know in pst has this parameter,but i want use vb.net to get this value,. i think know vb.net method to do . thanks.
