Modify Toolpaths With CAM API

[mamassey]

Is it still not currently possible to access/modify/generate toolpaths with the CAM API? Just had a quick look at the docs and it seems to be the case.

Will this ever be available? I really want a way to do "dogboning" in 2D contours in the Manufacturing space. I'm aware of plugins that do this in Design space, but I'm not interested in that.

There was always talk of a second phase of the CAM API. Is this still happening?

Hi @mamassey .

To change the tool path settings, you can use the Operation.parameters property to get the desired parameters and change them, but there are many limitations.

A sample can be found here.

There seems to be no way to create a new toolpath except by using a template.

A sample can be found here.

Since the template file is an ASCII (text) file, you can rewrite the contents of the file to make it flexible to some extent, but since I can't find any documentation on this, I think you need to do some research and experiment.

I mean the actual geometry of a tool path. Edges and vertices.

@mamassey .

Unfortunately, I don't think geometry is currently supported.
