LevelSetsVisibility_CHook

[Nils N]

After installing 2017 I'm looking for the  add-ons I like using and can't find Level Sets Visibility_CHook. Anyone know if it's been updated for 2017

Have you tried viewsheets yet?

[Nils N]

Yes I have, they're not the same and not as easy as a quick hot key, in my opinion.

From Roger Martin in the MC 2017 topic...

 

 

There are currently no additional Adds-On to download for 2017.

Those that were available for X8/X9 have been....

Either included in the Product install (i.e. ArcMultiEdit, vHelix, zSprial, SortCircles, pts2Arcs, MD_CD_PST Rename)

or their functionality has been put into Mastercam 2017 (i.e. PrmDef, Grid),

or they've "been retired" (i.e. Repaint Toolpath).

 

So, it may have been included with the rest of the chooks (Alt+C) or it's somewhere in the menus/icons.

[Nils N]

I was wondering about that too. I tried MCCommandfinder but nothing. Looked int he Levels Manager- nothing. I'm bummed, I used this C-hook daily for my work.

You could try messaging Roger. Maybe it's there somewhere, just not easily visible.

I believe someone on the Mastercam forum has updated this chook to MC2017 and made it available for download

Good luck finding it though, I have not had much luck getting good search results on that foru,

[Nils N]

LOL, that's for sure, i looked and looked through the Mastercam downloads and couldn't find anything. I click on subject after subject and still could find nothing. Hopefully it's show up.

The advanced search works better, but I drew a blank looking for the LevelSet Chook

Thanks for looking

Here is the Level Sets Visibility Add-In redone as a NET-Hook for Mastercam 2017.

*This is an unsupported item, so don't ask our Tech Support about it, as they won't know what you're talking about.

(There is nothing in this that is 2017 "specific" , so you can also use this in X9.)

The full source of the project is included in the ZIP.

 

Direct download link to LevelSetsVisibility [2017].zip

 

If you find bugs, you can certainly let me know,

If you are looking for additional functionality, we'll be happy to teach you how to do it (if possible),

as you will have the full source for the add-in.

 

If you wish to build the project, you'll need Microsoft Visual Studio.

If you don't already have it you can use the free "community" version of Visual studio -

Thanks Rodger, I think this is one of the hidden gems in Mastercam that many probably didn't know was available. I use it all the time turning levels of surface's (or what ever) off and on as I'm working. Thanks again  

[Nils N]

THANKS ROGER, the new switch works great. I'm back in the old mode again
