PrevExecuteRecipe

The callback Bool PrevExecuteRecipe(CENPyOlpTech_RecipeOperator) is called before the kernel executes the technology recipe.

It can be used to:

-override technology recipe with python script

-access ProcessGeometryOperator

- get attribute values (from recipe, operation group and operation)

- set attribute values (to operation group and operation)

- output to the log

The callback is defined in the %TechnologyName%.py file that is located in the scripts folder of the plugin.

[Example]

# The sample below overrides built in LaserCuttingTechnology recipe to use only contour workmethod 

#  for all process geometries (contours and regshapes)

def PrevExecuteRecipe(recipeOperator):

   logOperator = recipeOperator.GetLoggerOperator()

   attribGetter = recipeOperator.GetAttribGetter()   

   #useRegshape = attribGetter.GetBool("UseRegshape");   

   #logOperator.LogDebug('useRegshape: ' + str(useRegshape))

   pgOperators = recipeOperator.GetSelectedProcessGeometries()   

   opGroup = recipeOperator.GetOperationGroup()

   pgOperatorsCount = len(pgOperators)

   #logOperator.LogDebug('Size: ' + str(pgOperatorsCount))

   for i in range(0, pgOperatorsCount):

      pgOperator = pgOperators[i]

      #isRegshapeOp = pgOperator.IsRegshape()

      #logOperator.LogDebug('pgOperator[' + str(i) +'] IsRegshape = '+ str(isRegshapeOp))

      opGroup.CreateOperation('CONTOUR_METHOD', pgOperator) # use CONTOUR_METHOD for all process geometries

   return(True) # True - Technology recipe will not be executed, False - Technology recipe will be executed after this callback
