LeadMoveInfo LeadInfo = new LeadMoveInfo();
profile.LeadInMove = new CamBam.Values.CBValue<LeadMoveInfo>(LeadInfo);
LeadInfo.LeadInType = LeadInTypeOptions.Spiral;
LeadInfo.SpiralAngle = 5;

And again you make me smile !

Thanks, Eddy !


PS.: The finish is near !

[ThisAmplifierIsLoud]

Nearby ... nearby, Eddy.

I would prefer reading out the MOP´s existing LeadInfo, change only a specific property,
then write back to the MOP. (similar to your first proposal).

There´s something strange with the "Cached" or misusing it ?

This will solve my next upcoming problem with holding tabs, too.

[EddyCurrent]

I have this piece of test code set up, the results when run give;

False
True
15

You should always check first to see if the values are Cahed (IsCaheSet) otherwise it's an error
Once values are set in the MOP these become the Cached values and it's those that should be used.

Code: [Select]


  MOPPocket pro6 = new MOPPocket();

  CamBam.ThisApplication.AddLogMessage("Leadinmove is cached ? = " + pro6.LeadInMove.IsCacheSet);

  LeadMoveInfo LeadInfo = new LeadMoveInfo();
  pro6.LeadInMove = new CamBam.Values.CBValue<LeadMoveInfo>(LeadInfo);
  LeadInfo.LeadInType = LeadInTypeOptions.Spiral;
  LeadInfo.SpiralAngle = 15;

  CamBam.ThisApplication.AddLogMessage("Leadinmove is cached ? = " + pro6.LeadInMove.IsCacheSet);

    if(pro6.LeadInMove.IsCacheSet)
      {
            LeadMoveInfo LeadInfo2 = new LeadMoveInfo();
            LeadInfo2 = pro6.LeadInMove.Cached;
            CamBam.ThisApplication.AddLogMessage("Spiral Angle = " + LeadInfo2.SpiralAngle);
        }
         

     CAMPart newpart = new CAMPart("mypart");
      newpart.MachineOps.Add(pro6);
      myfile.Parts.Add(newpart);
       view.RefreshView();

I don't understand where you want to arrive or do?

Armando,  Bernhard said this;

Dear all,

on my brave way from Script-Yedi to Plugin-Yedi I decided to convert & improve my
one-and-only-super-duper-auto-magic python script  into a real plugin.

...

Best regards

Bernhard

Thank very much, Eddy for the explanation and demonstration.
All that's missing is Bernhard write in Csharp and compiling in Visual Studio.

Hi Eddy,

isn´t there is a simple way to write directly to the mop f.e.
 profile.DepthIncrement = new CamBam.Values.CBValue<double>(double.Parse("2.2"));

This mechanism works fine for a lot of stuff !

Obviously the problem is, that LeadIn/Out and tabs are using a complicated mechanism to access the properties.
Seems that at first a "structure" has be copied out, then modified and then write back again. Somehow...

The snippets are running, but they all are writing new data, not modify the properties of an already exisiting mop

Problem is that this is not resolved at runtime, keep in mind that "profile" is defined as
public object profile, the concrete type is set at runtime. (Profile, Pocket, Engrave, Drill)
Until this point this was VERY "elegant".

Whatever I try, it crashed at runtime. See screenshot above.
It´s always the same bermuda triangle.

Do you have another idea ?

Best regards

Bernhard

[EddyCurrent]

It would be ideal if you could attach the project files.

[ThisAmplifierIsLoud]

Yes, Sir, why not... there are no secrets inside. 

Hope you can read it.
The critical part you´ll find in AutoMagic in class1 nearby at the end.

a DXF-File as Playground is also included,

Thanks in advance

Bernhard

[EddyCurrent]

Okay, I've downloaded it.

Hi Eddy,
Test with attached file.

@Armando : This will work only with the old script, not with this plugin.

@Eddy, yes of course, it seems working correct,
but it´s not what I want to.

I want to set the lead in angle only, keeping all other properties unchanged.
Actually I have to set the Type to Spiral explicitely to keep it working.

This is .... hmmmm..  ok for the LeadIn/Out angles, but looking forward to holdings tabs
this makes no sense.

Maybe it´s a problem, that the mop exists, but is still unadded to the system ?

I´ll prepare a crashing code.

Best regards

Bernhard

[ThisAmplifierIsLoud]

That´s what I want to do, but it crashed

Code: [Select]

                        // crashing at runtime
                        case "LIA":
                            profile.LeadInMove.SpiralAngle = double.Parse(ParameterValue);
                            break;

And that happens :
