STEPControl

Prerequisite for Transfer : the method Transfer is called on a starting object only if Recognize has returned True on it This allows to define a list of Actors, each one processing a definite kind of data TransferProcess calls Recognize on each one before calling Transfer. But even if Recognize has returned True, Transfer can reject by returning a Null Binder (afterwards rejection), the next actor is then invoked.
The provided default returns True, can be redefined

theUseTrsf - special flag for using Axis2Placement from ShapeRepresentation for transform root shape

set units and tolerances context by given ShapeRepresentation

reset units and tolerances context to default (mm, radians, read.precision.val, etc.)

Set model.

Computes transformation defined by two axis placements (in MAPPED_ITEM or ITEM_DEFINED_TRANSFORMATION) taking into account their representation contexts (i.e. units, which may be different) Returns True if transformation is computed and is not an identity.

Computes transformation defined by given REPRESENTATION_RELATIONSHIP_WITH_TRANSFORMATION.

Customizable method to check whether shape S should be written as assembly or not Default implementation uses flag GroupMode and analyses the shape itself NOTE: this method can modify shape.

Initializes the use of STEP Norm (the first time) and returns a Controller.

Standard Initialisation. It creates a Controller for STEP and records it to various names, available to select it later Returns True when done, False if could not be done.

Creates a new empty Model ready to receive data of the Norm. It is taken from STEP Template Model.

Returns the Actor for Read attached to the pair (norm,appli).

Customises a WorkSession, by adding to it the recorded items (by AddSessionItem).

Takes one Shape and transfers it to the InterfaceModel (already created by NewModel for instance) <modeshape> is to be interpreted by each kind of XstepAdaptor Returns a status : 0 OK 1 No result 2 Fail -1 bad modeshape -2 bad model (requires a StepModel) modeshape : 1 Facetted BRep, 2 Shell, 3 Manifold Solid.

Loads a file and returns the read status Zero for a Model which compies with the Controller.

Transfers a root given its rank in the list of candidate roots Default is the first one Returns True if a shape has resulted, false else Same as inherited TransferOneRoot, kept for compatibility.

Determines the list of root entities from Model which are candidate for a transfer to a Shape (type of entities is PRODUCT).

Returns sequence of all unit names for shape representations found in file.

Sets system length unit used by transfer process. Performs only if a model is not NULL.

Returns system length unit used by transfer process. Performs only if a model is not NULL.

Unsets the tolerance formerly forced by SetTolerance.

Sets a specific session to <me>.

Returns the session used in <me>.

Returns the produced model. Produces a new one if not yet done or if <newone> is True This method allows for instance to edit product or header data before writing.

Translates shape sh to a STEP entity. mode defines the STEP entity type to be output:

• STEPControlStd_AsIs translates a shape to its highest possible STEP representation.
• STEPControlStd_ManifoldSolidBrep translates a shape to a STEP manifold_solid_brep or brep_with_voids entity.
• STEPControlStd_FacetedBrep translates a shape into a STEP faceted_brep entity.
• STEPControlStd_ShellBasedSurfaceModel translates a shape into a STEP shell_based_surface_model entity.
• STEPControlStd_GeometricCurveSet translates a shape into a STEP geometric_curve_set entity.

Writes a STEP model in the file identified by filename.

Displays the statistics for the last translation. what defines the kind of statistics that are displayed:

• 0 gives general statistics (number of translated roots, number of warnings, number of fail messages),
• 1 gives root results,
• 2 gives statistics for all checked entities,
• 3 gives the list of translated entities,
• 4 gives warning and fail messages,
• 5 gives fail messages only. mode is used according to the use of what. If what is 0, mode is ignored. If what is 1, 2 or 3, mode defines the following:
• 0 lists the numbers of STEP entities in a STEP model,
• 1 gives the number, identifier, type and result type for each STEP entity and/or its status (fail, warning, etc.),
• 2 gives maximum information for each STEP entity (i.e. checks),
• 3 gives the number of entities by the type of a STEP entity,
• 4 gives the number of of STEP entities per result type and/or status,
• 5 gives the number of pairs (STEP or result type and status),
• 6 gives the number of pairs (STEP or result type and status) AND the list of entity numbers in the STEP model.

Sets parameters for shape processing.

Returns parameters for shape processing that was set by SetParameters() method.

Sets flags defining operations to be performed on shapes.

Returns flags defining operations to be performed on shapes.
