Create a 2D-operation and set the tool orientation over API

[maurizio_manzi]

Hello,
It is now possible, for example, to insert a pocket operation via the API and to select various parameters including geometry via the API. Is it also possible to set the complete tool orientation via the API (see image)? Does anyone have an example?

Best regards

Maurizio

Hi @maurizio_manzi 

Here is the little snippet of codes you can implement in your code

#operation creation
opInput = setup.operations.createInput('pocket2d')
opInput.tool = getTool()

# Enable Tool orientation
opInput.parameters.itemByName('overrideToolView').expression = 'true'
opInput.parameters.itemByName('view_orientation_mode').expression = "'axesZX'" ## Setting tool orentation mode to select Z axis/plane & X axis
opInput.parameters.itemByName('view_orientation_flipZ').expression = 'true'

#Adding the operation
pocketOp = setup.operations.add(opInput)
edge = body.edges.item(0) ## Body is a brepbody
pocketFace = body.faces.item(0) 

## seleting my edge for Z Axis
toolAxis: adsk.cam.CadObjectParameterValue = pocketOp.parameters.itemByName("view_orientation_axisZ").value
toolAxis.value = [edge]

## Select a face for pocket       
pocketSelection: adsk.cam.CadContours2dParameterValue = pocketOp.parameters.itemByName("pockets").value
faces = pocketSelection.getCurveSelections()
face_ = faces.createNewPocketSelection()
face_.inputGeometry = [pocketFace]
pocketSelection.applyCurveSelections(faces)

Thanks,

Thank you very much
