GENER

Plot Format Type: Specifies the output format of back-plot data generated by GENER. Binary output produces a CL file that can be input to any ICAM product that accepts binary CL files. APT output (the default) produces an APT-like CL file. CATIA output produces an APT-like CL file compatible with CATIA's NC Manufacturing Review feature. (PLOT_TYPE)

Plot Data: Specifies the output units of back-plot data generated by GENER. With Machine output, XYZ coordinates are in the same units as the machine measured from the tool tip with vector information omitted. With CL output (the default), back-plot coordinate data is in the same units and reference system as the input CL data, also measured at the tool tip, but with vector information included if necessary. (PLOT_DATA)

Start lookahead: This value specifies the number of records to search to find the first occurrences of the PARTNO, UNITS and MACHIN statements. If 0 (zero) is specified, a search is performed on the entire input file. (START_LOOKAHEAD)

Max errors: Specifies the maximum number of errors (severity 8 or higher) that are permitted during post-processing. Once this limit is exceeded, post-processing will abort. A value of zero (the default) inhibits this feature, meaning that post-processing will not intentionally abort. (MAX_ERRORS)
