Getting parameter keys

Each parameter is known by a unique key. The keys can be known by using the ekey command in the dialog bar

This command allows diplay of special tooltips with API keys of parameters

And displays key information in the GO2cam information window

Machine

The machine is managed in Javascript by the object GO2SMachine.

Setting or getting parameters

The exemple bellow shows how to load a machine, and how to access some parameters.

var machine = new GO2SMachine
machine.LoadFromFile('', 'my_machine.MCF')
if(machine.IsLoaded())
    console.log('Machine loaded')
 
// Set a parameter of the machine
machine.SetParam(REAL_MAC_DEC_X_ROT, 42.9)
// Get a parameter of the machine  
console.log(machine.GetParam(REAL_MAC_DEC_X_ROT))
 
// Get a parameter of a holding device
console.log(machine.GetParam(REAL_MAC_SPACING, 1))

my_machine.MCF

Getting ISO file

Once loaded, the machine is the object that will give the iso code by calling GO2SMachine.RunPP

var machine = new GO2SMachine('', 'my_machine.MCF')
if(machine.IsLoaded())
    machine.RunPP('iso', 'my_pp.iso')

Material

Material can be loaded using GO2SMachiningUtil object.

if(GO2SMachiningUtil.LoadMaterial('', 'Aluminium_alloys.MTR') == GO2SError.success)

console.log('Material loaded')

Aluminium_alloys.MTR

Cycles

Cycles are managed in Javascript by the object GO2SCycle. GO2SMachiningUtil provides several methods to get cycles form machining tree.

‍This API only allows to modify existing cycles. It does not allow to create cycles directly. To create machining operations, refer to Opelist.

Get/Set parameters

var cycles = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName('Facing')
var facing = cycles[0]
 
cycles = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName('Pocket')
var pocket = cycles[0]
 
facing.SetParam(REAL_MILL_TOOL_STEPOVER_RATIO, 0.3)
pocket.SetParam(REAL_MILL_INCR_DEPTH, 2)
 
GO2SInteract.UpdateMachining()

ParamUsi.PCE

Move a cycle

const cyc1 = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName("Hexagon Island")[0] // Get the first found
console.log(cyc1[0].GetName())
 
const cyc2 = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName("Contouring")[0] // Get the first found
console.log(cyc2[0].GetName())
 
GO2SMachiningUtil.MoveCycle(cyc1[0], GO2SWay.after, cyc2[0]);
GO2SInteract.UpdateAll()

MW_01_Plate Fixture.PCE

Tools

Tools are managed in Javascript by the object GO2STool.

The following exemple updates the tool diameter in all cycles using the same tool than 'Pocket' cycle.

var cycle = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName('Pocket')
var tool = cycle[0].GetTool()
 
tool.SetParam(REAL_TOOL_DIAMETER, 20)
tool.Update()
 
GO2SInteract.UpdateMachining()

The following code will updates only the tool diammeter for 'Pocket' cycle.

var cycle = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName('Pocket')
var tool = cycle[0].GetTool()
 
var tool_cc = tool.Copy('my_tool_cc')
tool_cc.SetParam(REAL_TOOL_DIAMETER, 20)
cycle[0].ReplaceTool(tool_cc)
 
GO2SInteract.UpdateMachining()

The following code will load a tool from a file and replace it in a 'Pocket' cycle.

var tool = new GO2STool;
tool.LoadFromFile(TOOL_MILL_FLAT, "EC020B07-3C03.F05");
 
var cycle = GO2SMachiningUtil.GetByName('Pocket');
 
facing[0].ReplaceTool(tool);
 
GO2SInteract.UpdateGeometry();

Opelist

GO2SWireFeature

Attention: this objects works only for turning application

see GO2SWireFeature to see how to create wireframe design linked to an opelist and be used as a 2D feature (turning>Part>Feature 2D)

Run an opelist from a script

An Opelist can can be loaded and run using GO2SOpelist object. Values of user parameters can be changed by referencing their key.

var ope = new GO2SOpelist('opelist', 'MyOplAuto.OPL')
if(ope.IsLoaded())
{
    ope.SetUserParam('dia1', 2)
    ope.SetUserParam('stepover', 0.12)
    console.log(ope.GetParam('dia1'))
 
    ope.Run()
}

Run a script from an opelist

In the Opelist Manger when doing a right click on the opelist you can associate a Macro to the opelist. You can select here a .js file that will be launched at the begining of the opelist execution.

Let's assume for example a pocketing opelist where you need to ask allowances before execution. You can achieve it by associating the following script as a Macro to the opelist

var xy = GO2SDialogUtil.AskDouble('Allowance','XY :')
var z = GO2SDialogUtil.AskDouble('Allowance','Z :')
 
GO2SOpelistUtil.SetParamRunningOpeList('paramXY', xy)
GO2SOpelistUtil.SetParamRunningOpeList('paramZ', z)
