Mastercam 2027 Center Drill C-Hook

[CNCAppsJames]

This was a C-Hook from Version 8 that never got updated... until Mastercam 2027

I was digging through my code archives and decided to run it through Claude because I could.

Description;
Creates points at the correct depth based on the Center Drill selected (00-8 are the centers that are defined) and the circle diameter.

Use;
Launch C-Hook (Alt-C), select C:\Program Files\Mastercam 2027\chooks\CDrillPt\CDrillPt.dll
Select Circle(s)
Select Center Drill

Click OK

Result;
It will create the points on the active level.

Notes;
The Center Drills are defined in C:\Program Files\Mastercam 2027\chooks\CDrillPt\cdrillpt.din file You can open it in any text editor. Maintain current formatting.

There are 5 lines that define the center drill.

Ex;
118.0 Drill tip angle 00
0.025 Drill diameter
0.125 Body diameter
0.03  Drill tip length
60.0  C'sink angle

Mastercam V8 had a 12 Item limit. Mastercam 2027 Has no such limit.

Enjoy.

Any questions, you know where to find me.
