Alvares Cc: David Loffredo , Joao Carlos Espindola Ferreira , jcarlos@emc.ufsc.br, jcf@grucon.ufsc.br Subject: Re: Plugin MasterCam and documentation Hi Alberto, I just put an X3 version of the export dll onto the ftp site ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Mastercam_X3/ap238export.dll In order to use this dll you need to download and put it into the chooks directory of your X3 installation. The ap238export.dll uses the stepnc.dll to make STEP-NC data. The stepnc.dll is installed when you load STEP-NC Machine onto your box so first install STEP-NC Machine/Explorer onto the machine taht has Mastercam X3 and then try this dll. I have also put some test data into the X3 directory. The first file is some Mastercam test data: ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Mastercam_X3/BOXY_PART_ALL_OPERATIONS_ALLTERNATIVE_OPERATIONS.EMCX The second file is the STEP-NC data set produced by the X3 ap238export.dll for this data set; ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Mastercam_X3/export.238 Martin On 8/5/2010 4:08 PM, Alberto J.
