Geometry Commands - Pattern
Patterns are used for the purpose of grouping of holes that need identical processing. These definitions rely on some form of symmetry, which is present in the group.
Syntax is : <symbol> = PATERN/ <parameters>
The Z value of any point used in the pattern definition is ignored. The Z levels associated with a pattern are determined by a CYCLE command during the motion statement by the Postprocessor.
- Linear pattern by the first, last and number of points
- Linear Pattern by the First Point, Vector and Number of Points
- Circular Pattern by a Circle, Angular Positions of First Hole, Last Hole and Number of Points
- Parallelogram Constructed from Two Patterns
- Random Strings of Points and Patterns
