This object is used to pass data to the various toolpath creation function in the ToolpathManager object to specify the home position and safe z etc.
Constructor
ToolpathPosData()
Creates a new ToolpathPosData object with default values.
Properties
.HomeX
Interaction: Read Only
Returns: (double) X value for the home position (where tool starts from)
.HomeY
Interaction: Read Only
Returns: (double) Y value for the home position (where tool starts from)
.HomeZ
Interaction: Read Only
Returns: (double) Z value for the home position (where tool starts from)
.InMM
Interaction: Read Only
Returns: (bool) True if program working in mm, else inches
.SafeZ
Interaction: Read Only
Returns: (double) Absolute Z value for the safe z moves (rapid moves)
.SafeZGap
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (double) Get or Set the SafeZ gap (distance above surface of material for rapid moves)
.StartZGap
Interaction: Read and Write
Returns: (double) Get or Set the StartZ gap (distance above surface of material when plunges change from rapid to plunge federate.)
Methods
:EnsureHomeZIsSafe()
As Home position is specified as an absolute value, it is possible to set it programmatically to an invalid value within the block. This method will ensure that it is always at least SafeZ
above the material surface.
:SetHomePosition( double x, double y, double z)
Set the position from which the tool path starts and usually returns to.
- x(double) X value for tool home position
- y(double) Y value for tool home position
- z(double) Z value for tool home position
