NC-Program read out component number

c_bladt — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 09:27:55 GMT

Good morning,

is there a rule behind the NC-Toolpath Component ID-number?

Has Item 0 Automatically component 0?

and Item 1 Automatically component 1000?

and Item 2 Automatically component 2000?

and so on for further Toolpaths?

Exists there any way to read out the Component ID via a Macro file?

Best regards

Christoph

Hi,

I don't have the exact answer to your question. But if you want to assign the CutterRadiusCompensation.Type for all toolpaths in an active NcProgram by a macro, then here is the example:

FOREACH $tp IN $components($entity('NcProgram','')) { $tp.CutterRadiusCompensation.Type.Value = 'vector' }
