This object is used access a post processor within the program. A post processor is acquired from the ToolpathSaver objects :GetPostWithName(),:GetPostWithFilename() or:GetPostAtIndex() methods.

Properties

.Name

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (string) the name of the post processor. This is the name displayed in the dropdown list within the program



.FileName

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (string) the filen name of the post processor. This does not include the path to the PostP directory.



.Extension

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (string) the file extension to use for toolpaths saved using this post processor. Does not include the .
For Example:

"txt" NOT ".txt"



.SupportsArcs

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (bool) true if the post processor supports arcs. If arcs are not supported, any arc moves in the toolpath are output as a series of straight lines approximating the arc within tolerance.



.SupportsToolchange

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (bool) true if the post processor supports tool changing.



.Wrap_X_Axis

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (bool) true if the post processor wraps X moves onto a rotary axis



.Wrap_Y_Axis

Interaction: Read Only

Returns: (bool) true if the post processor wraps Y moves onto a rotary axis
