|---|---|
|
<4-AXIS-OPER> |
TRUE if the operation is 4-axis simultaneous. |
|
<5-AXIS-OPER> |
TRUE if the operation is 5-axis simultaneous. |
|
<ABS-SHIFT-CHANGED> |
TRUE on any move where ABS-SHIFTX, ABS-SHIFTY, or ABS-SHIFTZ has changed. This includes the Linear, Rapid, Canned Move, and Segment Start formats. In addition, <ABS-SHIFT-CHANGED> is always TRUE for the Program Start and Tool Change formats. |
|
<CHIP-TAP> |
TRUE if Tap cycle is set to Chip Break in FeatureCAM. |
|
<COMP-3D-ON> |
TRUE if 3D cutter compensation is active. Enable it on the Misc. tab of the Surface Milling Properties dialog. |
|
<COMP-END> |
TRUE if the move represents the end section for compensation (last element, or move of path), otherwise FALSE. |
|
<COMP-MID> |
TRUE if the move represents the middle section for compensation (between the first and last moves of path), otherwise FALSE. |
|
<COMP-ON> |
TRUE if cutter diameter compensation is enabled in FeatureCAM, otherwise FALSE. |
|
<COMP-START> |
TRUE if the move represents the start section for compensation (first element, or move of path), otherwise FALSE. |
|
<CW-SPINDLE> |
TRUE if the spindle is rotating in the clockwise direction, otherwise FALSE. |
|
<CYCLE-DONE> |
TRUE for the last hole location in a canned cycle, otherwise FALSE. |
|
<CYCLE-MACRO> |
TRUE if the current segment is in a canned cycle. |
|
<CYL-INTERP> |
True if cylindrical interpolation is used. |
|
<DEEP-TAP> |
TRUE if Tap cycle is set to Deep Hole in FeatureCAM. |
|
<DRILL-CPTED> |
TRUE if drill moves are computed using linear moves, FALSE if canned cycles. |
|
<DRILLING> |
TRUE if a drilling-type cycle is used in a segment, otherwise <DRILLING> is FALSE, and a milling segment is in process. |
|
<EULER-CHANGED> |
TRUE on any move where EULER-1, EULER-2, or EULER-3 has changed. This includes the Linear, Rapid, Canned Move, and Segment Start formats. In addition, <EULER-CHANGED> is TRUE for the Program Start and Tool Change formats if 4- or 5-axis indexing is enabled. |
|
<FLOAT-TAP> |
TRUE if Tap cycle is set to Floating in FeatureCAM. |
|
<HAS-TOOL> |
True if the turning operation has a tool associated with it, otherwise <HAS-TOOL> is False. Used to suppress unnecessary output when an operation does not have a tool (for example bar feed). |
|
<INDEX> |
TRUE on any move where ROT1 has changed. It is also TRUE if ROT2 has changed for 5-axis parts. This includes the Linear, Rapid, Canned Move, and Segment Start formats. In addition, <INDEX> is TRUE for the Program Start and Tool Change formats if 4- or 5-axis indexing is enabled. |
|
<INDEXING> |
TRUE if you have enabled 4th- (any axis) or 5th-axis indexing for the document. The value is set in the Program Start format and does not change for the duration of the posting process. Enable 4th- or 5th-axis indexing by selecting 4th-axis positioning or 5th-axis positioning on the Indexing tab of the Stock Properties dialog in FeatureCAM. |
|
<IS-ALT-POS> |
TRUE if alternate 5-axis position is selected. |
|
<IS-CCF-SEG> |
For use with UDFs and Part Handling features that employ the "call custom format" technique to invoke a custom format in the post. It is valid in the Tool Change and Segment Start formats to indicate that the operation will be using a custom format. |
|
<IS-INC-MAC> |
TRUE if incremental macros are enabled. |
|
<IS-METRIC> |
TRUE if the NC code is in metric units. |
|
<IS-MF-DOC> |
TRUE if document is multiple fixture. |
|
<IS-OP-STOP> |
Valid in the Program Stop format and indicates whether it is an optional stop. This format is called when a turn part is programmed to machine the main spindle side, output a program stop, the user manually removes the part and flips it around, and then machines the second setup on the main spindle side. The value is set to FALSE in this case. |
|
<IS-PREF-POST> |
TRUE if 5-axis position is set to Use Post Preference for the operation. |
|
<IS-WORLD> |
TRUE if the current Setup is WORLD. |
|
<IS-ZINDXCLR> |
TRUE if a rapid move before Segment Start format is being called as a result of a retract to the Z-index clearance. |
|
<LAST-TOOL> |
TRUE if the current tool is the last tool in the program. |
|
<OFFSET-CH> |
Normally used in a Segment Start block; TRUE if the <OFFSET#> is changed between segments: <IF><OFFSET-CH><THEN> {N<SEQ>}T{<COMP-NUM>}<TOOL> <OFFSET#><EOB> <ENDIF> |
|
<RIGID-TAP> |
TRUE if Tap cycle is set to Rigid in FeatureCAM. |
|
<USE-FIXTURE> |
TRUE if using 5th-axis positioning with Fixture IDs. |
|
<USE-ROTFEED> |
TRUE if the linear move format should use DPM feed rate instead of linear feed rate. Replaces test of <IF><WRAP>. Set for wrapped, 4-axis simultaneous, and 5-axis simultaneous operations. TRUE only if there is an angular rotation for this move. |
|
<WAS-WORLD> |
TRUE if the previous Setup was WORLD. |
|
<WRAP> |
TRUE if 4th-axis wrapping is set. |
|
<WRAP-Z-DOWN> |
TRUE if wrapping and the tool is moving down in the Z direction. |
|
<WRAP-Z-UP> |
TRUE if wrapping and the tool is moving up in the Z direction. |
|
<X-WRAP> |
TRUE if the current milling operation is wrapping in the X direction. |
|
<XY-PLANE> |
TRUE if the current arc is in the XY plane. |
|
<Y-WRAP> |
TRUE if the current milling operation is wrapping in the Y direction. |
|
<YZ-PLANE> |
TRUE if the current arc is in the YZ plane. |
|
<Z-CHANGED> |
TRUE if current move changes Z from the previous location. |
|
<Z-DOWN> |
TRUE if the tool moves down in the Z direction, otherwise FALSE. |
|
<ZX-PLANE> |
TRUE if the current arc is in the ZX plane. |
|
<Z-UP> |
TRUE if the tool moves up in the Z direction, otherwise FALSE. |
|
<ZFACE-YAXIS> |
True if cut feature using Y coordinates check box in feature properties dialog is selected. Machine must have Y axis to use this option. |
