Greetings all, find myself here often when looking for answers, first time posting. Questions follow my short rambling below. After altering many posts and cobbling together a functional aggregate head post I started looking into writing vbscripts. I accoplished what I set out to, digging through swaths of this site in particular to learn what was available to me. During that time it became more and more clear that vbscripts were on their way out, while Net-Hooks using c# or vb.net seem to be the way of the future. Throughout all these projects, documentation has been very sparse. Usually requiring 3rd party documents or in the case of writing Net-Hooks with c#, digging through the dll files included with the project to decode functionallity. I do not own my own mastercam license seat. As far as I can tell, all the real documentation sits behind the mastercam.com paywall. I have regiatered an accout, without linking a product, and still get re-routed when attempting to access any documentation. Questions: 1) Is there any alternative method to accessing the Net-Hook documentation? (Biggest sticking point is being unable to isolate drafting entities. I was able to accomplish this using a vbscript after some fiddling. Essentially ran the quickmaskall for drafting entities then searched for all selected entities) 2)Stumbled onto Mick's GitHub through my searching. Are the examples available there what falls under the open source license? (Cant imagine it is the NetHook Api.) 3) The most current project file available to download for visual studio says it has beem updated for X8, am i to understand we have not yet reached compatability with mc2017? Thank you all for your time. Any example projects would be most helpful and I am happy to return the favor.
