FlutingParameterData

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

Constructor

FlutingParameterData()

Create a new object ready to have its parameters set

For Example:

local fluting_data = FlutingParameterData() 

Properties

.CutDepth

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) Final cutting depth below start depth

.CutDepthFormula

Interaction: Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) Formula for final cutting depth below start depth

.FluteType

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (integer) Type of flute to create. Valid values are:
FlutingParameterData.FULL_LENGTH
FlutingParameterData.RAMP_START
FlutingParameterData.RAMP_START_END

.Name

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (string) The name for the toolpath

.ProjectToolpath

Interaction: Read and Write

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

.RampLength

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) Length of ramp. This is only used if .UseRampRatio is false.

.RampRatio

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (double) Length of ramp as ratio of flute length (range 0 to 1.0). For ramp at start end ratio is of half length. This is only used if .UseRampRatio is true.

.RampType

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (integer) Type of ramping to perform. Valid values are: 
FlutingParameterData.RAMP_LINEAR
FlutingParameterData.RAMP_SMOOTH

.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

.UseRampRatio

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) If true, use .RampRatio field for controling ramp length, else absolute value from .RampLength

.UseSelectionOrder

Interaction: Read and Write

Returns: (bool) If true use selection order of vectors as machining order
