Hi, I have a problem with the new SearchManager function: if I use only the Mastercam operation then it works fine, but if I use the add-in HSM from cimco to create operations then the SearchManager ignores all these operations and return only the one from Mastercam. What can I do? Thanks in advance, Silas

Hi, I´m still working to transfer my program to nethook 2 from nethook 1... How do you get the tooltype (for example: drill) and the operationtype (for example: contour) as a string? Dim selectedOps() As Mastercam.Database.Operation = SearchManager.GetOperations(True) Dim op As Mastercam.Database.Operation For Each op In selectedOps ToolNo = op.OperationTool.Number.ToString Toolname = op.OperationTool.Name CurrentToolType = op.OperationTool.??????? Next op (Sorry for double post)

Hi Martin, the rename function works perfekt, thanks for writing me a dll for it. Also the extra work for saving the setting.xml to a better place, I appreciate it. Silas

Hi Martin, did you received the code and the sample, I have sent you?

Hi, I´m still working to transfer my program to nethook 2 from nethook 1... How do you get the tooltype (for example: drill) and the operationtype (for example: contour) as a string? For Each op In selectedOps If op.Dirty = False Then tooltype = op.OperationTool operationtype = op.name End If Next op

Thanks for your help, now I can post the operation.

i must correct me, if you check in vb that Not flag_OP_Dirty it's the same like that Not flag_OP_Dirty = true

it's my fault, I like to post only the good one's.

Hi, another problem: how can I post selected operations? With this code nothing happend: Public Shared Function PostOp(ByVal ncFilePath As String, ByVal boEdit As Boolean) As Boolean Dim opInfos1 As Mastercam.Database.Operation Dim flag_OP_Selected As Boolean Dim flag_OP_Dirty As Boolean Dim OpList() As Mastercam.Database.Operation = SearchManager.GetOperations() Dim op As Mastercam.Database.Operation For Each op In OpList opInfos1 = op flag_OP_Selected = opInfos1.Selected flag_OP_Dirty = opInfos1.Dirty If (flag_OP_Selected And Not flag_OP_Dirty) Then PostOp = opInfos1.Post(ncFilePath, boEdit) End If Next op End Function

Hi, After I renamed the nci name of selected operations all 2d geometry like point, boundary's are lost, only the surfaces not. Maybe I did something wrong in my code? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOI9xtVxBig Public Shared Function RenameOperations(ByVal nci_Name As String) As Boolean Dim opInfos1 As Mastercam.Database.Operation Dim flag_OP_Selected As Boolean Dim flag_OP_Dirty As Boolean Dim intCount As Integer = 1 Dim nci_Verzeichniss As String = vbNullString Dim OpList() As Mastercam.Database.Operation = SearchManager.GetOperations() Dim op As Mastercam.Database.Operation For Each op In OpList opInfos1 = op flag_OP_Selected = opInfos1.Selected flag_OP_Dirty = opInfos1.Dirty If (flag_OP_Selected And Not flag_OP_Dirty) Then nci_Verzeichniss = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(opInfos1.NCIName) opInfos1.NCIName = System.IO.Path.Combine(nci_Verzeichniss, nci_Name & "_" & intCount & ".nci") opInfos1.Commit() intCount += 1 End If Next op End Function

:) That's it, now I can debug, Martin many thanks for your help, Silas

I use VS 2010 express, I modified the file ".vbproj.user" to start an external program. If I click debugging then Mastercam starts automatically.

After changing to 3.5 the nethook2 examples works. But stop points doesn´t work if I start debugging in vs2010, maybe I need the debug mastercam.exe?

Hi Martin, I mean NETHook. The version of the .NET Framewore are 4.0.0. Yes I use the release version of mastercam.exe, is there a debug version available?

Hi, I have trouble to run my chook with x5, I get an error "Unkown file type". What can I do? The chook was written in vb.net. I also tied the nethook 2 example for x4, but the same error appears. (I use know Visual Basic 2010) Silas
