Operation types in C#

[Jure Klemencic from Camincam]

I tried to "initialize an operation from scratch" by function COperationRef and it worked, but I couldn't find any table for variable short OperationType.

I suppose: 1=Contour, 2=Drill, but where is a complete table? And how can one create for example a lathe operation?

 

Any help will do good

My guess it is the Operation Type values listed in the Post Processor Reference Guide. Here is what is listed from lathe in the 304 Numeric Variables.pdf

Alright! With your help I managed to use mill OperationTypes (1 for contour, 2 for drill...) in COperationRef:

code:

---

CToolRef tool = new CToolRef(1);

COperationRef op = new COperationRef(9,9,1000,1,500,100,100,

10,5,5,0,0,1,true,false,false,true,false,true,false,false,true,

false,false,false,true,true,false,true,"OPname","NCIname",tool);

---

This worked fine, but I'm actually interested in creating lathe operations. If I used lathe OperationTypes (51 for face contouring, 52...) the code did not work. It is quite obvious, that the parameters in COperationRef are for mill and not for lathe.

 

Thanks.
