Hello, I am using mastercam x6 chooks SDK to build a plugin. I need to read the tool information stored in the file with extension .TOOLDB. Can someone please let me know how to read the tool information from this file. I tried using "read_ent(file_ptr,&tl_ent,&ok);" but it fails. I have been able to read tool information from TOOLS-6 files from the above function call.

Nothing helped, Yes the mastercam and sdk are installed directly on my C drive, and not inside program files. Setting it in release mode and running the release mastercam.exe with my CHOOK works perfectly fine. I made a desktop shortcut of the debug mastercam.exe and changed its working dir to C:\mcamx6\ but still fails to start up. The screenshot is attached below . I guess its the problem of debug mastercam.exe ? any other help would be appreciated as I want to get the debug mode up and running

Hello, I have tried looking for some resources on emastercam forum about setting the mastercam debug environment to test my chook dll. Here's what I did: In the VS2010 property sheet, I added the following option: Config Properties -> Debugging -> Command = C:\mcamx6\sdk\x64\debug\Mastercam.exe // This is the path where the 64 bit mastercam is, My chook dll is also 64 bits Config Properties -> Debugging -> Working Dir = C:\mcamx6 When I run from VS, I get the following error, The screenshots also shows what dlls get loaded The same error occurs when I try to run the debug mastercam.exe independently(outside VS). Do I need to configure something else to make it work? If you could point some tutorial that would be good. Thanks Prashant Barnawal
