4.2.360 Path

A Path is the representation of a continuous direction of travel.

Each Path is a General_path, a Linear_path, or a Circular_path.

The data associated with a Path are the following:

4.2.360.1 is_defined_by

The is_defined_by specifies the Axis_placement to which the parameters of the Path refer. The is_defined_by is specified for the purpose of evaluation by manufacturing systems, which use the information in order to determine various machining parameters. For each type of Path it is specified, how the Axis_placement is located and oriented with respect to the curve that defines the path.

See path to axis_placement for the application assertion.

4.2.360.2 is_defined_in

The is_defined_in specifies the Cartesian_coordinate_space in which the Path is defined. This coordinate space shall be the same as the coordinate space of the Feature_definition that uses this Path. The is_defined_in shall be specified when the Path is used in the context of a Placed_feature, else it shall not be used.

See path to cartesian_coordinate_space for the application assertion.

The is_defined_in need not be specified for a particular Path.
