I never used C++, sorry if I ask a lot.

I have already added the reference and the windows form.

Could you tell me how I show it?

my code works in C#

//creamos la copia del formulario
FrmOffset FrmOF = new FrmOffset();
//hacemos dialog
FrmOF.ShowDialog();

Thanks

I think I understand that it is a mixture of C# and C++. is it like that? Can Windows Forms be added to it? How can I start them? thanks for your help

I have requested access to that forum, I am waiting for It.

Thanks for answer. Must the list have only arcs? Can I have more type of entities?

Thans again.

I'm checking that this forum has little movement.

There are several unanswered questions of mine. I imagine the same thing would happen with this one, but just in case here's the question.

Is there a way to create groups or lists of entities (arcs, lines, points...) and be able to call them to use them when needed? in case I want to move or copy them.

Thank you all for the answers.

I have found this in C# documentation:

Mastercam.Support.UI.MastercamRibbon.InsertThirdPartyRibbonTabs(string);

String is a ribbonXml file. The XML that defines the Tab and its contents.  Can someone give information on how this file is created or where to look for that information? In the examples there is one but there is only one XML file and it is not explained. Can someone explain it ?

Thanks

I want to select a chain, make offset of it, change the color to result and translate in Z, ut with the following code what istranslated is the original chain and not the offset one.

Can you help me please

Why the translated is the original chain?

Can I change the settings of the selecction to always select a clockwise chain?

How can I know the nurber assigned to colors?

Thanks

///code used for the C# C-Hook

  //Select a chain
  var CadOriginal = ChainManager.GetOneChain("Select a Closed Chain.\n\n");

  //only continue if it is a closed chain
  do 
      if (CadOriginal.IsClosed == false)
      {
          //If not closed, show message and reselect
          MessageBox.Show("The chain is not Closed", "ERROR", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
          CadOriginal = ChainManager.GetOneChain("Select a Closed Chain.\n\n");
      }
  while (CadOriginal.IsClosed == false);

  //offset chain
  var CadTemp1 = CadOriginal.OffsetChain2D(OffsetSideType.Left, 0.2, OffsetRollCornerType.None, 0, false, 0.005, true);
  //convert to geometries the chain   
  var CadDef1 = ChainManager.GetGeometryInChain(CadTemp1);

 
  //point origin
  var origin = new Point3D(0, 0, 0);
  //point to transalate
  var PuntoZ = new Point3D(0, 0, 14.8);
      
  //using the chains
  foreach (var Chain in CadDef1)
  {
      //change color
      Chain.Color = 9;
      //translate
      Chain.Translate(origin, PuntoZ, ViewManager.CPlane, ViewManager.CPlane);
      //validate
      Chain.Validate();
      Chain.Commit();
  }

I know we can use C++ libraries in C#. If I want to create a chain offset is it possible on C#? OR Do I have to use C++ for that? Can you help me?. Thanks

Could someone explain to me what differences there are between the different templates?

Thanks

With the app Mastercam 2023 Closed The errors are the same. The Paths are in "MastercamSDK.props" and they are correct.

Thanks for your help

Thanks

I was programming he c# chooks, and all ok.

I instaled sdk Mastercam 2023, but I dont know indicate where is it to the VS.

In VS 2019 there are thousands of errors

Help me please.

Is my first Time with C++ proyects

Thanks

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I have tried with VS2019 and VS2022 and there are a lot of errors.

Thanks for your help.

Tbank you. I will send a mail to.

I cannot understand that the information page about chooks does not have access to information in C++ but it does have access to C# and .Net.  Is it payment information?  How can I access it?

Thanks for answer.

Here is a quick and dirty routine that I created to handle this. It does not have all of the protection code that I would like to see.

 

 

 

code:

---

static void make_manual_entry( 

 

char *szString ){

 

 

 

 

 

boolean succf;

 

operation op_me_note; // manual entry operation.

 

db_ptr_type d_ptr;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memset( &op_me_note,0,sizeof(operation));

 

//op_me_note.op_idn = 1;

 

//op_me_note.slot = 1;

 

op_me_note.opcode = TP_MANUAL_ENTRY;

 

 

 

operation_manager (

 

&op_me_note, // IO: pointer to operation

 

OPMGR_INIT, // I: OPMGR_ADD, OPMGR_EDIT, etc

 

&d_ptr, // O: db pointer to operation entity

 

&succf); // O: operation manager successfull

 

 

 

// the following operation is necessary because when a second call to

 

// opereation_manager is made with the OPMGR_INIT it atomatically picks up the

 

// previous manual entry text. And if the current text has shorter text it will

 

// end up over the old text and part of the old text will still show in the NC code.

 

memset( &op_me_note.u.manual_entry.comment,0,sizeof(op_me_note.u.manual_entry.comment));

 

 

 

 

 

strncpy (op_me_note.u.manual_entry.comment, szString, strlen(szString));

 

op_me_note.u.manual_entry.source = 0;

 

op_me_note.u.manual_entry.save = 0;

 

op_me_note.u.manual_entry.gcode = 1006;

 

 

 

 

 

operation_manager (

 

&op_me_note, // IO: pointer to operation

 

OPMGR_ADD, // I: OPMGR_ADD, OPMGR_EDIT, etc

 

&d_ptr, // O: db pointer to operation entity

 

&succf); // O: operation manager successfull

 

 

 

}

I placed this here for anyone who may want to do something similar.

Hello, I am searching to create a Manual Entry Operation. I have tried this code and it doesnt work, Is it for C# or C++.

I am using C# and I need the code for create a Manual entry Operation.

Can you help me. Peease.

I want to create a new Manual Entry operation with only text to insrt in the NC, I'am using C#, can you help me to create one?

I am tryng but my Mastercam sdk level not is good, I,m starting. If you help me I will be grateful. 

There should be a book or some information with examples of each part of the SDK, the examples only come with very few things.

Thank you

I have been searching about this topic, I need change de number of drill list item. If it is the first index, change to the second  one or other. How can I access to that part of the drill operation data?

Sorry for my English

Thanks

I'm starting with chooks so I'm very lost. I have downloaded the examples but I can't do what I want. I can now go through all the operations, detect which are drills, but I don't know how to access the drill type (position in the list of drills) and if it can be changed.

Another problem is that I have two forms and I cannot call the second form from the first and return to it when I finish what I do.
Thanks and greetings

I have a question about the numeric parameters. Can I asign a value or I only can read It?. Thank you

I already have it, it was difficult for me but I found it by reviewing the wire parameters one by one. Also I don't speak English. Thank goodness the names were clear. Thank you

I need to know the name or the numeric value of the red colors options in the wire contour options. I have search in the post documentation but I didn't find it. Does anybody help me?. Thanks

Is possible with the free version of Visual Studio?

Or do you need a specific version?

I want to learn to do that type of scripts, Do you have any information to read about?. I searched but I didn`t find nothing about that.

I program in Visual Studio with Visual Basic .Net

I think it is really good option to customize the program

Good Job

The error is for because a string value is out of the list. 

I had some similar error and it was the problem.

You must find wich one, but I would start for sgcode and sgabsinc

Or some misc value can be too

Good Luck.
