IsG17
=============================================


**Standard Word:** -

**Variable:** Circular.IsG17

**Type:** Boolean

Returns true or false depending on the plane of circular/helical motion.

If the circular/helical motion plane is the XY plane, the variable “Circular.IsG17” takes the value of "true", otherwise it takes the value of "false".

Note: In 3+2 axis milling operations, to make the cutting tool axis the Z axis, first the active coordinate system is rotated and then the plane of the circular/helical motion is calculated.

This value, calculated with the information in the APT/CL file, is first assigned to the “Circular.IsG17” variable. This variable can be used in any script.

Words cannot be created from boolean type variables. Therefore, this variable doesn’t have its own word.
