Get centerpoint or Center of mass

[swebjorn]

Hi,
I am developing functions for Mastercam with Mastercam SDK.

What I am looking for is the marked area in the picture below. I want to get the center of mass programaticaly with C# and the SDK.

Below is in swedish, but it is the center of mass I am after. Is there a command or function to get it? I have been able to get all points out of a 2D shape. But now I want the center of the shape.

If someone has the answer I would be very happy!

Good day,

to get the center of gravity of a group of wireframe I usually use the creep_record function from the chook sdk,

What version of Mastercam are you using?

[swebjorn]

I am using Mastercam 2022 and NET-Hook Api.

Did not find creep_record in net-hook reference, perhaps a different name there.

creep_record is part of the chook sdk in c++, the nethook api is not able to read the points from wireframe the way you want.

The sdk downloads are available here
