You will need to post this on the official beta forums.

Select File -> Options

Eric, The bool conventional maps to a checkbox on the UI. The overrides are values set from the UI and whether the imported operations have depth or we are using the depth of the current drawing. You can set these to hard coded values while testing your code. Mick

The NET-Hook will run in X9 and 2017 as is, there are no specific dependencies.

Did you unzip to a temp folder then copy to the chooks folder? If not the files will become blocked and wont run. Copy them out to a temp folder and right click each file and make sure they are unblocked, then copy them back.

Make sure that when you extract the files you do so in a temp folder before copying to the Mastercam CHooks folder because the files will be blocked and will not function. Having said that I was able to created a new toolbar and add the functions as expected. Please see the attached image.

A quick and easy way is to filter out what objects (textbox, labels) to display based upon the string name contained in the tool description field. While this might not be the most robust method it is certainly viable. From within the subreport add the detail format event from the object drop down and then add a little C# code. Simple test for the word "FACE MILL" (case sensitive) returns true or false, based upon the result hide or show the controls. The result:

I got word from the developer that this functionality is currently under investigation due to the differences in graphics interaction between Mastercam and Mastercam for SolidWorks. I believe that there is a SolidWorks function under View:screen capture but I am not entirely sure if that is at all helpful.

I am not too familiar with McfSW so I will look into it and get back to you.

Are you on a 4k monitor by chance? You should be able to see it as shown below.

Eric, You're welcome. Any questions or issues feel free to reply to this thread.

David, What version of Mastercam?

Attached is an example NET-Hook project that shows how to rename tool path groups and nci name. Basically, run the NET-Hook, use the current drawing or prompt for one if there is none, prompt for a name, rename all tool path groups with the name and set the nci for each operation using the same name. Hope-fully this will help. If you are interested in writing your own NET-Hooks go to mastercam.com 3rd Party Developers section and down load the appropriate getting stated guide. Source attached and NET-Hook attached. NOTE 1: Extract NET-Hook to a temp folder before copying to Mastercam or it will be blocked. NOTE 2: Not all operation types are support in the .NET API Run NET-Hook - RenameToolGroups.dll Select Drawing Name prompt Result Post Code - Main Entry Point Set Name Check drawing Get Groups Source_RenameToolGroups.zip NET-Hook.zip

I'm quite sure we have done this in the past with a NET-Hook. I'll take a look tomorrow and see what I can find.
