This object is used to hold the settings for a vcarving toolpath.
Constructor
VCarveParameterData()
Create a new object ready to have its parameters set
For Example:
local vcarve_data = VCarveParameterData()
Properties
.Allowance
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (double) Allowance to leave on profile when calculating toolpath
.AllowanceFormula
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (string) Formula for allowance to leave on profile when calculating toolpath
.CutDepth
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (double) Final cutting depth below start depth
.CornerSharpen
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (bool) True if want to create 3D ‘corner sharpening’ moves for internal corners
.CreateSquareCorners
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (bool) true if want to create ‘square’ external corners
.CutDepthFormula
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (string) Optional formula for final cutting depth below start depth. The formula is the same as
can be entered in the CutDepth field on the normal toolpath page and has access to the same variables (e.g “z * 0.5” to set cut depth to half the material thickness).
.CutDirection
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (integer) Cutting direction for toolpath. Valid values are as follows:
- ProfileParameterData.CLIMB_DIRECTION
- ProfileParameterData.CONVENTIONAL_DIRECTION
.KeepStartPoints
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (bool) If true, start points of vectors are maintained, else start points are optimized.
.Name
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (string) The name for the toolpath
.ProfileSide
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (integer) Side of the vector to cut on. Valid values are as follows:
- ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_OUTSIDE
- ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_INSIDE
- ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_ON
.ProjectToolpath
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (bool) If true and used with Aspire, toolpath is projected onto model surface after calculation
.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
.StartDepth
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (double) Start depth for toolpath below material surface
.StartDepthFormula
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (string) Optional formula for start depth for toolpath below material surface. The formula is the same as can be entered in the Start Depth field on the normal toolpath page and has access to the same variables (e.g “z * 0.5” to set start depth to half the material thickness).
For Example:
-- Create object used to pass profile options local profile_data = ProfileParameterData() -- start depth for toolpath profile_data.StartDepth = start_depth -- cut depth for toolpath this is depth below start depth profile_data.CutDepth = cut_depth -- direction of cut - ProfileParameterData.CLIMB_DIRECTION or -- ProfileParameterData.CONVENTIONAL_DIRECTION profile_data.CutDirection = ProfileParameterData.CLIMB_DIRECTION -- side we machine on - ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_OUTSIDE, -- ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_INSIDE or ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_ON profile_data.ProfileSide = ProfileParameterData.PROFILE_OUTSIDE -- Allowance to leave on when machining profile_data.Allowance = 0.0 -- true to preserve start point positions, false to reorder start points to -- minimise toolpath length profile_data.KeepStartPoints = false -- true if want to create 'square' external corners on toolpath profile_data.CreateSquareCorners = false -- true to perform corner sharpening on internal corners (only with v-bits) profile_data.CornerSharpen = false -- if true in Aspire, project toolpath onto composite model profile_data.ProjectToolpath = false
