iLogic - STL Translator Specific Parameters Info

[Anonymous]

I am looking for information on the option parameters, any documentation?

I found some code to query what parameters there are (Rule: GetTranslatorOptions), just not sure what the enumerations are for some.

Specifically: ExportUnits, Resolution

Using Rule:ExportSTL

I have changed the Export Units from 1 to 4 and do not see any change to the STL ASCII output.. not sure what this parameter does... Expected it to be an enumeration of the drop-down box that you see during "manual" exporting.  

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Below are the various options and the valid values for the STL export translator.  I'll make sure this makes it into the documentation for the next release.

ExportUnits

                2 - Inch

                3 - Foot

                4 - Centimeter

                5 - Millimeter

                6 - Meter

                7 - Micron

AllowMoveMeshNode = (True or False)

ExportColor (True or False)  (Only used for Binary output file type)

OutputFileType

                0 - Binary

                1 - ASCII

ExportFileStructure (Only used for assemblies)

                0 - One file

                1 - One file per instance.

Resolution

                0 - High

                1 - Medium

                2 - Low

                3 - Custom

*** The following are only used for “Custom” resolution

SurfaceDeviation

                0 to 100 for a percentage between values computed based on the size of the model.

NormalDeviation

                0 to 40 to indicate values 1 to 41

MaxEdgeLength

                0 to 100 for a percentage between values computed based on the size of the model.

AspectRatio

                0 to 40 for values between 1.5 to 21.5 in 0.5 increments
