This object is responsible for managing all the sheets within the applica􀆟on. A reference to the CadSheetManager is obtained via the SheetManager property of the VectricJob. The CadSheetManager maintains a list of all the sheet ids in the job.

Properties

.ActiveSheetId

Read / Write UUID - Get the id of the active sheet. Set this value to the id of a different sheet to change the active sheet.


.NumberOfSheets

Read Only Integer- returns the number of sheets in the job.

Example Code: 

Returns the number of sheets
function SheetCount()                                   
  local job = VectricJob()
  local sheet_manager = job.SheetManager
  return sheet_manager.NumberOfSheets
end -- function end

Methods

:CreateSheets:(integer num_sheets, UUID sheet_id)

Create num_sheets new sheets with the same properties as the sheet with id sheet_id.

num_sheets - integer - the number of new sheets to add to the job.
sheet_id - UUID - the id of the sheet that the new sheets should take their properties from (e.g. dimensions, Z Zero Posi􀆟on etc.).


:CreateSheets:(integer num_sheets, UUID sheet_id, Box2D material_bounds)

Create num_sheets new sheets with the same properties as the sheet with id sheet_id but with width and height defined by material_bounds.

num_sheets - integer - the number of new sheets to add to the job.
sheet_id - UUID - the id of the sheet that the new sheets should take their properties from.
material_bounds - Box2D - the width and height dimensions for the new sheets.

:GetSheetIds()

Returns: Lua iterator that can be used to iterate over all of the sheet ids in the job (see example below).


:GetSheetName(UUID sheet_id)

Returns: name of the sheet with the passed id as a string.

sheet_id - UUID - the method will return the name of the sheet with this id.

Example Code: 

-- =====================================================]]
  function SheetSet(Name)                                 -- Move focus to a named sheet
    local job = VectricJob()
    local sheet_manager = job.SheetManager
    local sheet_ids = sheet_manager:GetSheetIds()
    for id in sheet_ids do
      if(sheet_manager:GetSheetName(id) == Name) then
        sheet_manager.ActiveSheetId = id
      end -- if end
    end -- for end 
  end -- function end 
  -- =====================================================]]
  function SheetNextSize(Name, X, Y)                            -- Make New Sheet to size (x, y)
    if X == nil then
      X = Milling.MaterialBlockWidth
    else
      X = X + (2 * Milling.Cal)
    end -- function end
    if Y == nil then
      Y = Milling.MaterialBlockHeight
    else
      Y = Y + (2 * Milling.Cal)
    end -- function end
    Milling.Sheet = Milling.Sheet + 1
    local sheet_manager = Milling.job.SheetManager
    local sheet_ids = sheet_manager:GetSheetIds()
    for id in sheet_ids do
      if(sheet_manager:GetSheetName(id) == "Sheet 1") then
        sheet_manager:CreateSheets(1, id, Box2D(Point2D(0, 0), Point2D(X, Y)))
      end -- function end
    end
    SheetSet(Name)
    return true
  end -- function end
