NCProgramInput.operations Property

Description

Gets and sets the operations which will be included in the NC program. Valid input contains any number of operations, setups or folders. For setups and folders all child operations will be added. Operations will be post processed in setup order, with operations from the same setup grouped together. Setting the nc_program_orderByTool BooleanParameterValue on the parameters property to true will reorder operations across multiple setups to reduce the number of tool changes. When the list of operations is associated to one setup and the setup has defined its job_programName or job_programComment parameters, then those values are applied to the nc_program_name and nc_program_comment parameters accordingly.

Samples

Manufacturing Workflow API Sample

Manufacturing Workflow API Sample. This sample script starts by creating a simple component, which is then used to describe a milling workflow. It creates a setup and a few operations, picks tools from a Fusion sample tool library using loops and queries, and post-processes the operations using an NC program.

Post Toolpaths API Sample

Demonstrates posting toolpaths in the active document using an NC program: import a post configuration from the post library, choose which setups or operations to include, set NC program and post parameters, and run NCProgram.postProcess.

Before running: Run from Scripts and Add-Ins with a design that contains at least one CAM setup with toolpaths. The script prompts for what to post (all setups, first setup, or first operation) and optionally opens the NC file when complete. It may offer to switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace.

Turning Workflow API Sample

Turning Workflow API Sample. This sample script starts by opening a simple component, which is then used to describe a basic turning workflow. It creates a setup and a few operations, picks tools from a Fusion sample tool library using loops and queries, and post-processes the operations using an NC program.
