CycleType

Standard Word: OperationCycleType

Variable: Operation.CycleType

Type: Enum

The variable “Operation.CycleType” returns the type of the drilling cycle inside the operation if it is a drilling operation.The difference from the “Drill.CycleType” variable is that, unlike “Drill.CycleType”, the “Operation.CycleType” variable can be used at the beginning of the operations.The “Drill.CycleType” variable does not contain the correct value at the beginning of the operation, it gets the correct value when the drilling cycle line (CYCLE/DRILL etc.) in APT/CL file becomes active while post processing.This is not the case with the “Operation.CycleType” variable. This variable contains the correct operation cycle type information at the beginning of the operation.
