Macro to abort computing toolpath if no feature fits to filter

Anonymous — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 09:54:45 GMT

i have an activated feature set and i set some filter in the drilling toolptah like, diameter, depth and depthtyp.

but sometimes after filtering there are no red marked hole features left. If i click click calculate now, the toolpath includes every hole in the feature set. Even if no feature fits to my set filter.

So i need a macro which does kind of a request. if there is a still a red marked feature -> calculate. if there is no feature fitting to the filter -> don't calculate.

I am hoping my problem is understandable.

EDIT SELECTION FILTER DEPTHTYPE "Through"
EDIT SELECTION APPLY
EDIT FEATURESET ; HOLES DESCRIPTION TYPE "Through"

EDIT SELECTION TYPE DEPTH // Maximaltiefe festlegen
EDIT SELECTION FILTER DEPTH MAX "75"

EDIT SELECTION TYPE DIAMETER
EDIT SELECTION FILTER DIAMETER MIN " 9,99"
EDIT SELECTION FILTER DIAMETER MAX "10,01"

IF number_selected(entity('featureset','')) > 0 {

// Calculate
}
