Try highlighting it and passing a null pointer as the first parameter
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.

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

Can you re-post this on the main Mastercam forum?
This is slightly sensitive information, but I am willing to share, just not here.
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-
3

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

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

Check your misc ints in your ops, as well as how your planes are setup.
Then check the following:
shift_90_s is set to 1 bias_null is 1 mtype is 0 spind_align is 3 Machine base matrix is set for VMCThen read through the rest of the settings in the post under the "Debugging and Factory Set Program Switches" section to see if they make sense for what you want.
Possibly post a sample file, so we can take a look and see. Since it is a generic post, you can zip to go it all up if you post a sample, then we can help you by digging into your post if we have time, to help steer you in the right direction. It's hard to help when we are blind.
What version are you running?
Husker
The post is ok.
Thank you so much.

I would start with the following, and see how it works.
#Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms) #With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane rotaxis1$ = vecx #Zero rotdir1$ = vecy #Direction #Secondary axis angle description (in machine base terms) #With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis and this plane normal #are aligned to calculate the secondary angle rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero rotdir2$ = -vecx #DirectionFor the limits, set as below.
#Set pri_limtyp and sec_limtyp on following conditions #0 = Less than 180 degrees #1 = Equal or greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees #2 = Soft limit at 0-360 degrees with hard limits slightly beyond #Set limhi-limlo to hard limits, inthi-intlo to 360 degrees total #limhi-limlo are expected equal amount from inthi-intlo #3 = Greater than 360 degrees auto_set_lim : 1 #Set the type from the angle limit settings (ignore these) pri_limtyp$ : 0 sec_limtyp$ : 0 #Rotary axis travel limits, always in terms of normal angle output #Set the absolute angles for axis travel on primary pri_limlo$ : -999999 pri_limhi$ : 999999 #Set intermediate angle, in limits, for post to reposition machine pri_intlo$ : -99999 pri_inthi$ : 99999 #Set the absolute angles for axis travel on secondary sec_limlo$ : -110 sec_limhi$ : 45 #Set intermediate angle, in limits, for post to reposition machine sec_intlo$ : -110 sec_inthi$ : 45There will likely be a fair bit more work past this.
thanks a lot .
but post process fail，error msg

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

What you are asking for is possible .
X5 was when the ability to get data “directly” back from an add-in (C-Hook or NET-Hook) that was run from within a PST became available.Is not the Date and Time data already available in the MP Post language?
Here is from the std. MPFAN.PST from X7, showing different output styles ->sopen_prn, "DATE=DD-MM-YY - ", date$, " TIME=HH:MM - ", time$, sclose_prn, e$ #Date and time output Ex. 12-02-05 15:52
