MachiningToolPathUseItf Interface DELIMfgTPMultipleMotion

Usage: an implementation of this interface is supplied and you must use it as is. You should not reimplement it.

interface DELIMfgTPMultipleMotion

Interface for management of tool motions inside tool path model.
A DELIMfgTPMultipleMotion must be the child of a object.
A DELIMfgTPMultipleMotion object is a tool path object in which it is possible to store several subtrajects.
A subtraject can describe, either a set of linear motions ("Polyline"), either a circular motion ("Circle Arc"), either a "PP Command" (NC Command which is evaluated from syntax described in PP Table), either a "User Syntax" (which is generated as it is in APT file), either an helical motion ("Helix").
To model cutter profile data, you must use object.
