Seb,

 

Give this a try, I haven't been able to test as I am in the middle of something else but it might help.

            opname = "FC 1/8-3DEG";
            var op3 = this.contour(opname);
            var count3 = this.contourchain(op3, depthdiff, true, mindepth, ncname, string.Empty, uchain);

            foreach (var nchain in uchain)
            {
                nchain.Direction = ChainDirectionType.Clockwise;
            }

            op3.CutterComp = CutterCompType.CutterCompRight;

            ChainManager.StartChainAtLongest(uchain);
            ChainManager.SortChainsByArea(uchain, true); // Flip true/false accordingly

            op3.Commit();
            op3.Regenerate();

            this.mm4deg5.Focus();

Yes it'S works thanks

I found another way I will remove lead in lead out for this operation it should be ok thanks for your help

For the first operation I ask to user to select chain point and counterclockwise chain but for last operation I have to go in clockwise if I keep chain point the last operation will start there and going through the whole piece before he start

Could you also post the code for the contour and contourchain methods rather than us make assumptions. If you would rather not, zip the project and mail it to me.

I send you private message with zip file

here is my code

  private void mm3deg3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            {
                //1/8-3DEG

                Chain[] Uchain = ChainManager.GetMultipleChains("Selection du parcours a machiné", true);
                Chain rchain;
             
               

                string ncname = "";
                string opname = "1/8-3DEG-1";
                double depthdiff;
                double mindepth;
                bool result;
                depthdiff = System.Convert.ToDouble(label2.Text);
                mindepth = System.Convert.ToDouble(label1.Text);
                {

                    Mastercam.Operations.ContourOperation op = contour(opname);
                    int count = contourchain(op, depthdiff, false, mindepth, ncname, "", Uchain);
                    if (count > 0)
                    {
                        result = op.Regenerate();
                       
                    }
                }
                opname = "1/8-3DEG-2";
                Mastercam.Operations.ContourOperation op2 = contour(opname);
                int count2 = contourchain(op2, depthdiff, true, mindepth, ncname, "", Uchain);
                if (count2 > 0)
                {
                    result = op2.Regenerate();

                }
                opname = "FC 1/8-3DEG";
               
               
                Mastercam.Operations.ContourOperation op3 = contour(opname);
                int count3 = contourchain(op3, depthdiff, true, mindepth, ncname, "", Uchain);
               
                foreach (Mastercam.Database.Chain nchain in Uchain)
                {
                    ChainDirectionType rev = ChainDirectionType.Clockwise;
                    nchain.Direction = rev; 

                    // here I want to remove chain point
                    
                }

                
                
              
                op3.Commit();
                op3.Regenerate();

                mm4deg5.Focus();
            }
        }

Thanks i forgot to commit but now I have another problem I try to delete the chain point in Chain.

Hi guys, I try to reverse chain.  For the first operation the user select counter clockwise chain but the second operation it the same chain but clockwise. I try to reverse or change Direction but it doesn't works.

Chain[] Uchain = ChainManager.GetMultipleChains("Selection du parcours a machiné", true);
                Chain rchain;
             
                foreach (Mastercam.Database.Chain nchain in Uchain)
                
                {
                    
                    ChainDirectionType rev = ChainDirectionType.Clockwise;
                    nchain.Direction = rev;
                  
                    

                   

                } 

It's contour operation. I have MX6 and I use VS 2010

Thanks

Hi guys, I use nethook 2.0 in mcx6 and I want to know if it's possible to change the program number in the nethook. 

Thanks

HI me again, I have 2 sames tools but diffrent lenght. My first operation it's a pocket I use the smallest tool. My second operation it's a pocket and I use the other one. I when I import the first operation the tools was ok but when I import the second operation the tools was the same of first operation and it'S bad. What can I do to avoid this. I try to make 2 operation library but it do the same. If doesn't works i'm think I will be obliged to changet ool in the c# program. Do you have better idea ???

Mastercam x6

nethook 2.0

visual studio 2010

I find to create machine group but in this machine group I want to create toolpath group I only found this

public

bool IsToolpathGroup() in support.group in support.defmanager I only found to create new machine group

Hi, It's possible to make new toolpath group with nethook 2.0 ??. I make my net-hook with visual studio 2010 et I use mastercam X6. If not can I change machine with net-hook???

Thanks

Now it's ok the macro was name like that "cercle_125" I change the name for "cercle125" and now it'S ok

I make my macro with visual studio ultimate 2010 for my mastercam x6. My macro was a net-hook and the small icon was 16x16. I don't understand when you say :

For all versions of Mastercam prior to X8

Thanks.

I made to macro and it's work fine. When I put the 2 icon on my toolbar it's ok but when I'm restart Mastercam one of my icon disappear. What can I do to avoid this situtation

Sorry I speak french so I'm not always clear in my question. So I want to choose point and make circle and do again only press escape when I finish. Thanks Roger

I want to do the code again and again stop just when user hit escape. Here is my code

   string  lvlname125 = "072 - BEARING 3.18 HOLE";
	  int LVL = LevelsManager.GetLevelNumber(lvlname125);
	    if (LVL < 0)
	    {
		    bool rest = LevelsManager.SetLevelName(125, lvlname125);

		 }

	    Point3D pt = new Point3D(0, 0, 0);
	    int LVL1 = LevelsManager.GetLevelNumber(lvlname125);
	    bool res=SelectionManager.AskForPoint("test",PointMask.EndPoint,ref pt);



	  ArcGeometry cir = new ArcGeometry(1, pt, 10, 360, 0);
	  cir.Level = LVL1;
	    cir.Color = 75;
	    cir.Commit();

Thanks

It'S work but I have the same problem when i create circle in wsc bottom, c/tplane bottom. When I select them for drill operation the drill was mirror example ; circle was x10. y10 z-10. finish a x-10 y-10 z10. I try many thing but nothing works. Can you help me

THanks works great

I use vs 2010 ultimate

I want to make point on center arc in c-hook like drillpt.dll . I use mastercam x6.

Hi, I have a problem. When I'm use hst operation the first one it's ok the second one show alarm enable to determine valid toolpath but I only copy the operation and change the depth. I try with anothwr computer and it<s work which paramater or tolerance can affect that.

Thanks

Where Can I find guide to help me to go through make simple net-hook. I want to make translate but I does'nt works.

string lvlname = "testa";

short mcview = 1;

Point3D point1 =new Point3D (0,0,0);

Point3D point2 = new Point3D(0,0,1);

GraphicsManager.FitScreen();

GraphicsManager.Repaint();

int lvl = Mastercam.IO.LevelsManager.GetLevelNumber(lvlname);

Geometry[] newChains= SearchManager.GetGeometry(lvl);

newChains.Translate(point1,point2,mcview,mcview);

In drill operation I can't I select all geometry on specific layer. Where can I find a guide to help me to make nethook.
