Setup
Dimensions: The length, width and height used to compute the sizes. The values are automatically set after the selection of the objects. Units: The increment between each integer size. The units displayed in the list are set in the plugin Options. Size Range: The current size, the start, step and end of the sizes to grade.
Sizes
Copy Vector: The distance between each size. Although each size is grouped, this option avoids the objects to overlap. Size List: The list of sizes to grade and the correspondent dimensions. Each size can be individually configured to the intended dimensions. Custom Increments: Used to apply non constant increments from a table or to clone a previous grading. See 'Notes' below.
Groups
Group List: The list of objects with special scale factors, such as fixed sized parts, circular objects, inserts, etc.
- None: No scale factor is applied to the objects.
- Custom: A custom scale factor is applied to the objects.
- Average: The average between the length and width scale factors is applied to the objects.
Files
Grading Information.
Save Grading Information: Save the grading information in XML and CSV formats. Mill Procedures.
Procedures File: The file containg the codes to be replaced.
Decimal Resolution: Number of decimal values.
Decimal Separator: Integer / fractional splitter.
List of variables to find and replace in the selected file.
Notes
- Using the option 'LengthWidthHeight', the dimensions are computed by flattening the 'Bottom Curve', that must be closed.
- Using the option 'LengthBall', both 'Bottom Length Curve' and 'Ball Curve' must be planar. The 'Bottom Length Curve' must be a open curve while the 'Ball Curve' must be a closed curve.
- The file format for 'Custom Increments' can be in XML or CSV. For custom increments such as fitting tables, use your own file with the same structure.
