ManufacturingCopyTransformation (Object)

Methods

Sub AddOperation( iManufacturingActivity)

Add a Manufacturing Operation to a Copy Transformation.

Example:

The following example adds a manufacturing operation myOperation, as a reference for the Copy Transformation CopyTransformation

 call myOperation.AddOperation(CopyTransformation)

Sub GetTrajectoryEndPointCoord( oEndPoint)

Retrieves the Manufacturing Copy Order trajectory end point.

Example:

The following example retrieves in oEndPoint the end point of the Manufacturing Copy Order CopyOrder

 Dim oEndPoint(3)
 call CopyOrder.GetTrajectoryEndPointCoord(oEndPoint)
 x = oEndPoint(0)
 y = oEndPoint(1)
 z = oEndPoint(2)
 

Sub GetTrajectoryStartPointCoord( oStartPoint)

Retrieves the Manufacturing Copy Order Operation's trajectory start point.

Example:

The following example retrieves in oStartPoint the start point of the Machining Operation Operation

 Dim oStartPoint(3)
 call Operation.GetTrajectoryStartPointCoord(oStartPoint)
 x = oStartPoint(0)
 y = oStartPoint(1)
 z = oStartPoint(2)
 

Sub SetCopyTransformation( iNumberOfCopies, iOrdering, iTransformationType)

Set the 'Number of Copies', 'Ordering' and 'Transformation Type' of a Copy Tranformation.

Parameters:

iOrdering

Legal values: iOrdering can be

"EachOperationNTime"

"AllOperationsNTime"

iTransformationType

Legal values: iTransformationType can be

"Translation"

"Rotation"

"Mirror"

"AxisToAxis"

"Scale"

"Affinity"

"Matrix"

Example:

The following example does that for the Copy Transformation CopyTransformation :

 call CopyTransformation.SetCopyTransformation(iNumberOfCopies, "EachOperationNTime", "Translation")

Sub SetCopyTransformationTranslationAttributes( iTranslationType, iDistanceAlongX, iDistanceAlongY, iDistanceAlongZ)

Set the 'Translation Type', 'Distance Along X', 'Distance Along Y' and 'Distance Along Z' of a Copy Tranformation which has a Translation as transformation.

Parameters:

iTranslationType

Legal values: iTranslationType can be

"AbsoluteCoordinates"

"CurrentCoordinates"

iDistanceAlongX

distance along X in mm.

iDistanceAlongY

distance along Y in mm.

iDistanceAlongZ

distance along Z in mm.

Example:

The following example does that for the Copy Transformation CopyTransformation :

 call CopyTransformation.SetCopyTransformationTranslationAttributes("AbsoluteCoordinates", 0.0, 100.0, 0.0)
