The element PRO_E_TOOL_MTN is a member of PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_ARR array and is documented in the header file ProMfgElemToolMtnNormAppr.h, and is shown in the following figure.
Figure 191. 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 | Compound | Compound element. This element specifies the tool motion definition. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Mandatory element. Species the tool motion type. The valid value for this element is PRO_TM_TYPE_NORMAL_APPROACH. The value for this element is defined by ProTmType. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_FEED_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Optional element. Specifies the type of feed for the tool motion using the enumerated data type ProToolMtnFeedType. The valid value for this element are: • PRO_TM_FEED_FREE—Specifies a free feed type. Free feed specifies the rate at which the tool moves in the transverse motion, that is, the non-cutting motion. • PRO_TM_FEED_CUT—Specifies a cut feed type. Cut feed specifies the rate at which the tool moves into the workpiece. • PRO_TM_FEED_APPROACH—Specifies an approach feed type. Approach feed specifies the rate at which the tool approaches the workpiece. | ||
PRO_E_MFG_PARAM_ARR | Array | Mandatory element. Specifies an array of manufacturing parameters. The element APPROACH_DIST is used to specify the approach distance. The element tree for the manufacturing parameter is defined in the header file ProMfgElemParam.h. For more information, refer to the section Manufacturing Parametersfor more information on the element tree. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_OFFSET | Compound | Optional element. This compound element specifies the offset value. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_X_OFFSET | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE | Optional element. Specifies the offset along X-axis. This element can range from negative to positive values. The valid range values for this element are from -MAX_DIM_VALUE to MAX_DIM_VALUE. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_Y_OFFSET | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE | Optional element. Specifies the offset along Y-axis. This element can range from negative to positive values. The valid range values for this element are from -MAX_DIM_VALUE to MAX_DIM_VALUE. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_Z_OFFSET | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE | Optional element. Specifies the offset along Z-axis. This element can range from negative to positive values. The valid range values for this element are from -MAX_DIM_VALUE to MAX_DIM_VALUE | ||
PRO_E_MFG_APPR_EXIT_DIR | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Mandatory element. Specifies the direction for the normal approach type of tool exit. The direction is defined by the enumerated data type ProTmSideDir in ProMfgOptions.h. The valid values for this element are: • PRO_TM_DIR_RIGHT_SIDE • PRO_TM_DIR_LEFT_SIDE | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_AXIS_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Mandatory element. Specifies the axis selection.
