Thanks, I will take a look at this today.
-
Could you post the code you have for us to take a look or zip up the project and send it to sdk(at)mastercam.com

Guys, Unfortunately it appears that there is a small but fatal flaw with the custom columns functionality and as such it will not work as designed at this time. I have identified and applied a fix in our daily build and tested that it now works as expected. I do not have an ETA on when this fix will be released but I am pushing for ASAP. I do apologize for any inconvenience caused. There will also be detailed information on how to correctly configure a custom column cutlist with the next release.

Kirk, I'll take a look at this when I am in the office on Monday.

For those unaware there has been a NETHook included as part of Mastercam (for quite sometime) that allows batch processing of layered dxf, dwg and mcx files utilizing machining strategies. A machining strategy is a list of level names that are associated (read: mapped) to Mastercam operations. There are two new tutorials that walk you through two examples of using this NETHook, one for Router (kitchen cabinets) and one for Mill (mold bases). Feel free to reply to this thread for any ATP related questions or requests. http://www.mastercam.com/en-us/Support/Tutorials/Mastercam

Importing DXF Files for 2D
Mick from CNC Software Inc. replied to StoneyNH's topic in Industrial Forum
Not sure if this is of any help but I wrote a quick and dirty NETHook that allows you to set a line length, level number and level color and moves all lines that meet the line length to a new level named crosshair (see image). I have attached the NETHook (X8) and C# project for those interested. Edit: Added X7 NETHook (64-bit) X8_x64CrossHairRemoval.zip VSProject_CrossHairRemoval.zip X7_x64CrossHairRemoval.zip

Do you have a sample file I can take a look at? -
Geometry Selection
Mick from CNC Software Inc. replied to PMDc's topic in Mastercam C-Hook, NET-Hook and VBScript Development
Mastercam.Database.Geometry[] gdGeom = SelectionManager.AskForMultipleGeometry("Select GD to be moved to Level 9004", gdGeoMask); Taking a quick look at this, it appears that you need to pass in the Geometry Mask, not the Selection Mask to the method. You can also restrict selection to points and lines thus: var gdGeoMask = new Mastercam.Database.Types.GeometryMask() { Lines = true, Points = true }; -
I'm afraid there are no Surface specific functions within the VBScript API

There are some sample scripts in your Mastercam shared folder, C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx[1-9]\vb, SetAllOperationsDirty.vbs might be helpful.

View Origin
Mick from CNC Software Inc. replied to sebast1985's topic in Mastercam C-Hook, NET-Hook and VBScript Development
Your code worked fine for me, do you have a machine group loaded? -
Seb, take a look at the Mastercam.Support.MachineDefManager namespace
-
Not sure why they would be marked malicious but I assume you are all set?
-
When nesting, what sort order are you using? Also, are you block drilling holes or single drilling?
-
FWIW, there are some example VBScript files located in your C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx8\vb folder that I wrote a few years ago that may also help, GetJobInformation.vbs and MS Excel Data.vbs for example .

changing cam software
Mick from CNC Software Inc. replied to 2strokecycle's topic in Woodworking Forum
The nested drawing has to be opened in Mastercam to be viewed and/or edited. You mentioned in your initial post that you are currently using AlphaCAM for your nesting how are you using AlphaCAM at the machine? -
changing cam software
Mick from CNC Software Inc. replied to 2strokecycle's topic in Woodworking Forum
I beleive you are asking if Mastercam has the ability to re-nest an existing nest with updated parameters, in your example the sheet size. You can re-open a nested drawing in Mastercam and edit a number of nesting parameters, one of which is the sheet size, therefore you could change the size of a full sheet to an offcut sheet size and then re-nest to give you a new nest using the updated sheet size. -
changing cam software
Mick from CNC Software Inc. replied to 2strokecycle's topic in Woodworking Forum
Hi, Myself and others here at CNC have a fair amount of history with AlphaCAM so we maybe able to help with a transition, however, I am not entirely clear what you mean when you say "change nests right at the machine" could you be a little more specific? Thanks. Edit: Spelling -
Updated for X8; All previous templates have been removed. Note: In both cases you can install directly from within Visual Studio 2013 go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates and search on-line for Mastercam. Direct Downloads: C# Template VB.NET Template As always please direct any questions, requests, concerns to this thread,

There are project templates for VS2010 and VS2012 but I have not yet added them for VS2013
-
Need a little more information and some context, are you looking to update this information within a drawing or during posting or ...?
-
Add me to the interested list.

I would recommend running a windows update and check the optional updates to see if there are any .NET specific updates that might need updating and let me see how many times I can say updating in a sentence
