A group of notches can be defined by a "NotchGroup" element:
The position of the notches may be given as a number of principal planes in a "Position" element. As an alternative, a number of seam references may be given in the "Seam" element. The shape of the notch is defined in the "Shape" element.
The NotchGroup element has one attribute:
|
TopSide |
Possible values are "true" and "false". If "true" the notch will be placed on top of the profile instead of trace edge. Optional attribute, the default value is "false". |
The attributes of the Position element are:
|
X, Y or Z |
Hole positions.Use one of the attributes. The string values may contain multiple coordinate values separated with a blank(s). Repetition terms may also be used. Examples: "FR10(5)FR100", "1000 2000 3000", "FR10+50 FR20()25 83000" |
The attributes of the "Seam" element are:
|
ObjIds |
A string containing one or several seams names separated with blank(s). Repetition terms can also be used. Required attribute. Examples: "SPS100 SPS101 SPS132", "SPS100(5)150", "SPS100(5)150 SPS138". |
|
Refl |
Indicates whether seams should be used in their normal or reflected position. Possible values are "true" or "false". Required attribute. Default value is "false" |
The attributes of the Shape element are:
|
Type |
The notch type. Either a standard notch code or the name of an arbitrary hole geometry. Required attribute. |
|
Parameters |
The hole parameters for standard holes. The values must be separated with on or more blanks. Examples: "50", "100 50". |
|
Mirror |
Indicated whether a notch should have its normal appearance or be mirrored about its V-axis. Possible values are "true" or "false. Optional attribute, the default values is "false". |
