 | Operation Interface |
Represents a generic manufacturing operation in the woodwork automation system.
An operation encapsulates a single, discrete manufacturing task performed on a workpiece during CNC machining.
Each operation defines the complete set of parameters required to execute a specific cutting, drilling, milling,
or nesting task, including the target spindle with its mounted tool, the workpiece side being machined, the sequence
order of execution relative to other operations, and the motion parameters governing tool engagement and movement.
Operations serve as the fundamental building blocks of manufacturing workflows, aggregating spindle selection, spatial
positioning information, cutting parameters (speeds and feedrates), and tool orientation data into a cohesive execution unit
that drives CNC machinery behavior throughout the woodwork manufacturing process.

SyntaxThe Operation type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CuttingParameters | Returns the CuttingParameters that define the motion speeds and feedrates for the operation. Cutting parameters govern spindle rotation speed (rpm) and tool movement rates across all phases of tool engagement including cutting, landing, lead-in/out, and withdrawal movements. |
| Name | Gets the user-displayable name of the operation. |
| OperatingToolData | Returns the OperatingToolData that specifies the spatial orientation and tool alignment for the operation. Operating tool data establishes the tool's three-dimensional direction vector and rotational angles required for proper tool positioning relative to the workpiece during cutting. |
| OperationType | Gets the operation type as defined by OperationTypeEnum. The operation type determines the manufacturing method and tool path strategy used during execution. |
| OrderNumber | Gets the sequence number indicating the execution order of the operation. Lower sequence numbers execute before higher sequence numbers in the manufacturing workflow. |
| Side | Returns the Side object that defines the workpiece face and coordinate system where the operation is performed. The side provides positional and orientation information necessary for spatial operation placement and execution. |
| Spindle | Returns the Spindle object that provides the tool and rotational characteristics for the operation. The spindle defines which tool is mounted and the spindle's rotation properties required for tool engagement. |
