Check for conflicting Tool Numbers
Description
Additional logic has been added to the Post Processor that checks for conflicting Tool Information e.g. using the same Tool Number but with different geometry.
With Version v5, this has been made a Post Processor Property that can be switched on and off as some users are using the same tool with different geometry settings. The default settings is switched on.
Implementation Details
This code has been added to the onOpen() section of the Post Processor:
//Check for duplicate Tool Numbers -swissi
if (true) { // set to true to check for duplicate tool numbers w/different cutter geometry
for (var i = 0; i < getNumberOfSections(); ++i) {
var sectioni = getSection(i);
var tooli = sectioni.getTool();
for (var j = i + 1; j < getNumberOfSections(); ++j) {
var sectionj = getSection(j);
var toolj = sectionj.getTool();
if (tooli.number == toolj.number) {
if (xyzFormat.areDifferent(tooli.diameter, toolj.diameter) ||
xyzFormat.areDifferent(tooli.cornerRadius, toolj.cornerRadius) ||
abcFormat.areDifferent(tooli.taperAngle, toolj.taperAngle) ||
(tooli.numberOfFlutes != toolj.numberOfFlutes)) {
error(subst(localize("Using the same tool number for different cutter geometry for operation '%1' and '%2'."),
sectioni.hasParameter("operation-comment") ? sectioni.getParameter("operation-comment") : ("#" + (i + 1)),
sectionj.hasParameter("operation-comment") ? sectionj.getParameter("operation-comment") : ("#" + (j + 1))));
return;
}
}
}
}
}
If the same Tool Number is being used with different cutter geometry, the Post Processor will generate the following error log:
Warning: Tool 1 has multiple usages with conflicting geometry.
