DrillParameterData

This object is used to hold the settings for a drilling toolpath.

Constructor

DrillParameterData()

Create a new object ready to have its parameters set

For Example:

local drill_data = DrillParameterData() 

Properties

.CutDepth

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) Final cutting depth below start depth

.CutDepthFormula

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) Formula for cut depth below start depth

.DoPeckDrill

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) if true we will do peck drilling

.Name

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) The name for the toolpath

.PeckRetractGap

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) distance above surface to retract to when peck drilling

.ProjectToolpath

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) If true and used with Aspire, toolpath is projected onto model surface after calculation

.StartDepth

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) Start depth for toolpath below material surface

.StartDepthFormula

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) Formula for start depth for toolpath below material surface

For Example:

    -- Create  object used to pass drilling options
    local drill_data = DrillParameterData() -- start depth for toolpath
    drill_data.StartDepth = start_depth                -- cut depth for toolpath this is depth below start depth
    drill_data.CutDepth = cut_depth                    -- if true perform peck drilling
    drill_data.DoPeckDrill = retract_gap > 0.0      -- distance to retract above surface when peck drilling
    drill_data.PeckRetractGap = retract_gap        -- if true in Aspire, project toolpath onto composite model
    drill_data.ProjectToolpath = false
