Figure 218. Element tree for PRO_E_TOOL_MTN element
The following table lists the contents of PRO_E_TOOL_MTN element.
Element ID | Data Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Mandatory element. Specify the tool motion type as PRO_TM_TYPE_VOLUME_MILLING. The value for this element is defined by the enumerated typeProTmType. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_PROFILE_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies the tool motion profile type. The enumerated type ProMillProfCutType defines the valid values for this element which are as follows: • PRO_E_MILL_CUT_FULL_DEPTH— Specifies that the entire depth of the mill cut is machined. • PRO_E_MILL_CUT_FROM_TO— Specifies that the machining depth is limited by the specified start and the end references. • PRO_E_MILL_CUT_UPTO— Specifies that the machining depth is limited by the specified end reference. • PRO_E_MILL_CUT_ONE_SLICE— Specifies the machining of a single slice cut. | ||
PRO_E_MFG_PARAM_ARR | Array | Optional element. Defines an array of manufacturing parameters. For more information, refer to the section Manufacturing Parameters. This element is inherited from the Creo NC Sequence, if not specified. | ||
PRO_E_MFG_CMP_APPROACH_EXIT | Compound | Specifies the approach and exit motions. This optional element is defined in the header file ProMfgElemApproachExit.h. For more information, refer to the section Approach and Exit. | ||
PRO_E_MFG_START_HEIGHT | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Optional element. Select the horizontal surface from where machining will begin.
| ||
PRO_E_MFG_HEIGHT | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Select a single surface where the machining will begin.
| ||
PRO_E_VOL_MILL_REGION_ARR | Array | Optional element. Specifies an array of region specifications. Define this element to overwrite the default order of machining of different areas | ||
PRO_E_VOL_MILL_REGION | Compound | Specifies a compound element that defines the volume milling region. | ||
PRO_E_VOL_MILL_REGION_SKIP_OPT | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies the skipping option for the region. The valid values for this element are: • PRO_B_TRUE—Specifies that the region will be skipped while machining. • PRO_B_FALSE—Specifies that the region will not be skipped while machining. | ||
PRO_E_VOL_MILL_AP_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Optional element. Specifies the selection of a vertical datum axis, or a datum point. This element defines a location for the region to make an approach move. | ||
PRO_E_VOL_MILL_EX_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Optional element. Specifies the selection of a vertical datum axis, or a datum point. This element defines a location for the region to make an exit move. |
