Namespace CAMAPI.ModelFormerTypes

Interfaces

Base surface configuration for engraving / curve-on-surface operations. Wraps the Delphi IBaseSurfaceEditor. The object is a singleton owned by the model former — every call to ICamApiModelFormerWithBaseSurface.BaseSurface returns the same underlying editor. Setting a property mutates the former state immediately; no Apply/Commit is needed.

ICamApiBossProbingCycle

Boss probing cycle geometry. XML type: TBossProbingCycle.

ICamApiBoxLinkPrimitiveModelItem

ICamApiBoxPrimitiveModelItem

ICamApiBridgeParams

Configuration bag for bridge (tab) generation. Obtain via ICamApiModelFormerWithBridges.CreateBridgeParams, fill the desired fields, then pass to GenerateBridges. All fields map to entries in TCurveOpBridgeCreator's XML schema. Defaults on a fresh instance mirror the default values from CurveOpBridgeCreator.xml (Scope=ClosedAndUnclosed, SelectedOnly=false, ReplaceExistingBridges=true, TabSize=Default, TabHeight=Default, Strategy=Count/DesiredBridgeCount=1/AvoidCorners=true).

TWeldSeamModelItem extends TProjectCurvesItem, so the same instance also exposes ICamApiCurve5DModelItem (Stock, AlternateDirection, AlternateFrontSide, curve geometry, tool vectors, feed points) and ICamApiProjectCurveModelItem (ProjectMethod, Is5dCurve) via QueryInterface on the same ICamApiModelItem. This interface adds per-item Multipass override access: when MultipassOverrideEnabled=true the item uses its own passes list; otherwise the operation-wide Multipass configuration applies.

ICamApiWriteToReportProbingAction

Write To Report action. XML type: TWriteToReportCycleAction. Stores the measured value into a report with a component/feature index. ComponentNumber and FeatureNumber use explicit (fixed) mode when set via this API.
