Interface IMTI_MachiningToolProvenance

Origin of the tool: where it came from and which version of the source it was made of. CAM uses it to tell one and the same tool from a new one: a tool whose origin is already in the project replaces that tool instead of being added next to it, and a changed stamp tells that the source has been updated.

Namespace: MachinigToolsImportTypes

Methods

SetProvenance(string, string)

Describe where the tool comes from.

Declaration

void SetProvenance(string Provenance, string Stamp)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	Provenance	Origin as "channel: value", parsed by the first ": ". Known channels are "PLMObjectID: <extension type>:<item id>" for an item of a PLM system and "ImportedFile: <path>" for a local exchange file. An empty value means the origin is unknown: such a tool is always imported as a new one.
string	Stamp	Version mark of the source, opaque to CAM: it is only compared for equality, so the format is up to whoever writes it. Empty means the source version is not tracked.
