Figure 197. 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. Species the tool motion type . The valid value for this element is PRO_TM_TYPE_TANGENT_APPROACH. | ||
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 parameter APPROACH_DIST specifies 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 Parameters for more information on the element tree. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_OFFSET | Compound | Optional element. This compound element specifies the tool motion offset. | ||
PRO_E_TOOL_MTN_X_OFFSET | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE | Optional element. Specifies the offset value along the 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 value along the 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 value along the 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_TOOL_MTN_AXIS_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies the axis selection.
