Definition

<CHIP-TAP>

True if tap cycle is CHIP.

<COMP-END>

True if the move represents the end section for compensation (last element, or move of path), otherwise <COMP-END> is false.

<COMP-ON>

True if cutter diameter compensation is ON, otherwise <COMP-ON> is false.

<COMP-MID>

True if the move represents the middle section for compensation (between the first and last moves of path), otherwise <COMP-MID> is false.

<COMP-START>

True if the move represents the start section for compensation (first element, or move of path), otherwise <COMP-START> is false.

<CW-SPINDLE>

True if the spindle rotates in the clockwise direction, otherwise <CW-SPINDLE> is false

<CYCLE-DONE>

True for the last hole location in a canned cycle. False otherwise

<CYCLE-MACRO>

True if the current segment is in a canned cycle

<DEEP-TAP>

True of tap cycle is DEEP

<DRILL-CPTED>

True if drill moves are computed using linear moves. False if canned cycles

<DRILLING>

True if a drilling-type cycle is used in a segment, otherwise <DRILLING> is false, and a milling segment is in process

<FLOAT-TAP>

True if tap cycle is FLOATING

<INDEX>

True if 4th or 5th axis indexing is set in FeatureCAM. For the Segment start formats <INDEX> is only true when the indexing move is actually being performed

<INDEXING>

True if the user has turned on indexing for X,Y,or Z axis

<IS-WORLD>

True if incremental macros are enabled in feature properties / strategy dialog.  

<LAST-TOOL>

True if the  current tool is the very last tool in the program

<OFFSET-CH> 

Normally used in a SEGMENT START block; true if the OFFSET# is changed between segments:

 

<IF><OFFSET-CH><THEN>

{N<SEQ>}T{<COMP-NUM>}<TOOL><OFFSET#><EOB>

<ENDIF>

<RIGID-TAP>

True of tap cycle is RIGID.

 

<USE-FIXTURE>

True if using 5th axis positioning with Fixture Ids.

<WAS-WORLD>

True if the previous setup is named WORLD.

<WRAP>

True if 4th axis wrapping is set.

<WRAP-Z-DOWN>

True if wrapping and the tool is moving down in the Z direction.

<WRAP-Z-UP>

True if wrapping and the tool is moving up in the Z direction.

<X-WRAP>

True if the current milling operation is  wrapping in the X direction

<XY-PLANE>

True if the current arc is in the XY plane.

<Y-WRAP>

True if the current milling operation is  wrapping in the Y direction

<YZ-PLANE>

True if the current arc is in the YZ plane.

<Z-CHANGED>

True if current move changes Z from the previous location.

<Z-DOWN>

True if the tool moves down in the Z direction, otherwise <Z-DOWN> is false

<ZX-PLANE>

True if the current arc is in the ZX plane.

<Z-UP>

True if the tool moves up in the Z direction, otherwise <Z-UP> is false
