Polyworks Script development learning notes ( One )- Script development environment

background

Polyworks The scanning dimension measurement and analysis module of is a module often used in my work , I'm not measuring , But the use of Polyworks It is a very important tool to analyze the size matching of the scanned point cloud . This module is very powerful , If we can do a good job in secondary development , It will become a sharp tool for dimensional analysis .

Polyworks Scripting language

Polyworks Provides macro script development function , And it's very easy to use . It's a kind of similarity Lisp Macro script for , The threshold of getting started is very low , The system provides very powerful and detailed development documents , You can find in the help .

Open macro script , Open the link of the secondary development document , Its documentation is like this . This is the case file of the whole script development .
All commands used in the script are in the help " command " Documents can be opened in , The important commands are as follows ：

Polyworks Macro script development tools

Under Tools menu , Use the command menu , Click start recording , And then operate , You can easily record macro commands . After recording , Paste into the script editor , You can learn and edit macro scripts .

The macro script editor is as follows ： Paste the recorded macro command into the editor below , Using execution and step-by-step execution, you can debug .

Polyworks Basic structure of main object

stay Polyworks in , The main operations revolve around Treeview That is, the directory tree expands , Build project PROJECT after , Objects created OBJECT It is divided into the following basic types :
REFERENCE: Reference data Mostly for CAD, It can also be point cloud and triangulation model
DATA: Comparison data , Most of them are point clouds and triangulation models , And REFENCE compare
DATA_ ALIGNMENT: Data alignment , Definition DATA The alignment of , You can create multiple alignment groups , Under each alignment group is the alignment of the sequence
DATA_COLOR_MAP： Data color map , take DATA And REFERENCE After comparison , Thermodynamic diagram generated according to deviation
FEATURE: Survey features created , Divided into points / circular hole /SLOT hole / A straight line / Cylinder and other sub types
COORDINATE_SYSTEM ： Coordinate system
CROSS_SECTION： section
COMPARISON_POINT: Comparison point
GAUGE: Gauge
REFERENCE_TARGET： Reference target , That is, the reference when aligning with the reference target
FORMATTED_REPORT : Format report , That is, the created test report
The parent class of the above type is OBJECT, All belong to this abstract type .
After all objects are grouped , be called OBJECT GROUP, Have group name , You can choose in groups / No election / Display etc. .
After mastering the method of operating these objects with macro script , Basically, you can use these commands to create some flexibility 、 Efficient tools .
