Job Related Global Methods

These methods do what? (need info here)

CloseCurrentJob()

Close the current job. Same as preforming the Menu: File | Close action. Note: if there are any unsaved changes, the user will be prompted to Save before closing.

CreateNewJob()

CreateNewJob( string name, Box2D bounds, double thickness, bool in_mm, bool origin_on_surface) Creates a new job with passed name, and settings. Returns true if job created OK else false.

name - string - name for job (without extension)

bounds - Box2D - the 2d bounding box for the job area

thickness - double - thickness of material block

in_mm - bool - true if job is in mm, else in inches

origin_on_surface - true if z zero on material surface, else on machine bed

CreateNew2SidedJob()

CreateNew2SidedJob( string name, Box2D bounds, double thickness, bool in_mm, bool origin_on_surface, SideFlipDirection flip_direction) Creates a new two sided job using the given parameters. Return true if the job was created, otherwise, false.

name - string - name for job (without extension)

bounds - Box2D - the 2d bounding box for the job area

thickness - double - thickness of material block

in_mm - bool - true if job is in mm, else in inches

origin_on_surface - true if z zero on material surface, else on machine bed flip_direction – the axis around which we flip the job (VectricJob.AROUND_X or VectricJob.AROUND_Y)

CreateNewRotaryJob()

CreateNewRotaryJob( string name, double length, double diameter, MaterialBlock.XYOrigin xy_origin, bool in_mm, bool origin_on_surface, bool wrapped_along_x_axis)

Creates a new two-sided job using the given parameters. Return true if the job was created, otherwise, false.

name - string - name for job (without extension)

length - double - the length of the material cylinder (Accessible from MaterialBlock.CylinderLength)

diameter – double – the diameter of the material cylinder (Accessible from MaterialBlock.CylinderDiameter)

xy_origin – MaterialBlock.XYOrigin – The XY origin of the block (Maps to the enum values of MaterialBlock.XYOrigin)

in_mm – bool – true if the job is in mm, else in inches

origin_on_surface – bool – true if z zero on material surface, else on machine bed

wrapped_along_x_axis – bool – true if we’re wrapping along the X axis and wrapping the Y values (Accessible from MaterialBlock.RotationAxis)

OpenExistingJob()

OpenExistingJob(string pathname)

Opens an existing CRV or CRV3D file. Returns true if file opened OK, else false

pathname - string - path to file

SaveCurrentJob()

Save the current job - same as File - Save, if no path has been set for the job this method will display the File Save As dialog.
