DrillShape PatternExecutionMode

The Pattern execution mode defines how the patterns will be applied during laser drilling. A drill shape can handle several passes of the same drill pattern. These passes can be configured to optimize the drill quality by changing and fine tuning the parameters, .

	Pass 1	Pass 2	Pass 3
Drill Point 1
Drill Point 2
Drill Point 3

The execution mode can be chosen to be either

Whole Shape – where each pass pattern will be applied to the whole drill shape one after other. ( Column by Column)

Point by Point – where all the pass patterns will be applied to each point after point. ( Row by Row)

public DrillPatternExecuteMode PatternExecutionMode {get}

Return value

DrillPatternExecuteMode

Execution mode

Copy

bool pulsemode = false;

pointandShootPattern.UsePulseBurstMode = pulsemode;
// Create a Drill Pulse
DrillPulse pulse1 = new DrillPulse(2.5f, 2.5f, 5);
pointandShootPattern.AddDrillPulse(pulse1);

patternList.Add(pointandShootPattern);
