Will my current C-Hooks work with Mastercam X2?

In general, C-Hooks from earlier versions of Mastercam will not work with Mastercam X2. Some of the key changes that C-Hook developers will need to accomodate include:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Framework is now a requirement.
• Access to Mastercam functionality is now provided through .LIBs instead of .OBJs.
• Many variable types have changed.
• C-Hooks that use legacy Mastercam menus need to have their interface rewritten to use modal or modeless dialog boxes.

A new and updated SDK is provided with Mastercam X2; check the supplied documentation for more information. If your C-Hook comes from a third-party developer, you will need to contact them directly to see how they will support Mastercam X2.
