Function return value. Negative values indicate error states.
Data type:
Value:
If the tool length components are parallel to the geometry axes, the axis indices
<AxInd>:
assigned to length components L1 to L3 are returned in the <AxInd> array.
● <AxInd> [0]: Abscissa
● <AxInd> [1]: Ordinate
● <AxInd> [2]: Applicate
Data type:
Value:
If not all length components are parallel or antiparallel to the geometry axes, the
index of the axis, which contains the largest part of a tool length component, is
returned in <AxInd>. In this case (if the function does not return an error for a
different reason), then the return value is <Status> = 1. The mapping of tool length
components L1 to L3 to geometry axes 1 to 3 is then described completely by the
content of the 2nd parameter <Matrix>.
Matrix which represents the vector of the tool lengths (L1=1, L2=1, L3=1) to the
<Matrix>:
vector of the coordinate axes (abscissa, ordinate, applicate), i.e. the tool length
components are assigned to the columns in the order L1, L2, L3 and the axes are
assigned to the lines in the order abscissa, ordinate, applicate.
Data type:
All elements are always valid in the matrix, even if the geometry axis belonging to
the coordinate axis is not available, i.e. if the corresponding entry in <AxInd> is 0.
INT
0 Function OK
Information provided in <AxInd> is sufficient for the descrip‐
tion (all tool length components are in parallel to the geom‐
etry axes).
1 Function is OK, however, the content of <Matrix> must be
evaluated for a correct description (the tool length compo‐
nents are not parallel to the geometry axes).
-1 Invalid string in parameter <Coord>.
-2 No tool active.
INT[3]
0 No assignment exists (axis does not exist)
1 ... 3 Number of the length effective in the corresponding coordi‐
nate axis.
or
The sign is negative if the tool length component is pointing
-1 ... -3
in the negative coordinate direction.
