Tool Object

The tool object describes a cutting tool defined by the digital thread model. A tool object describes the ID, name, and other associated information.

{
    "id":	int,
    "name":	string,
    "type":	string,
    "toolType":	string, 
    "workingsteps": 	int[],
    "diameter":		double,
    "diameterUnit":	string,
    "cornerRadius":	double,
    "cornerRadiusUnit":	string,
    "length": 		double,
    "lengthUnit":	string
}

Property	Type	Description
id	string	The unique identifier for the tool.
name	string	The tool name, if any.
type	string	Always "tool" for objects returned by the tools endpoint.
toolType	string	A string describing the general type of tool. Most tools will return "User Defined Milling Tool", but "Touch Probe" is another string that may appear.
workingsteps	int[]	An array containing the identifiers for all workingsteps that use the tool.
diameter	double	The numeric value of the cutter diameter.
diameterUnit	string	The name of the unit that applies to the diameter value.
cornerRadius	double	The numeric value of the cutter corner radius.
cornerRadiusUnit	string	The name of the unit that applies to the corner radius value.
length	double	The numeric value of the length radius.
lengthUnit	string	The name of the unit that applies to the length value.

For example, the following describes a pair of end-mills :

[
  {
    "id":87713,
    "name":"End Mill 44 mm",
    "type":"tool",
    "toolType":"User Defined Milling Tool",
    "workingsteps":[86380, 86499, 86506, 86513],
    "diameter":44,
    "diameterUnit":"mm",
    "cornerRadius":4,
    "cornerRadiusUnit":"mm",
    "length":2.2250738585072014e-308,
    "lengthUnit":""
  },
  {
    "id":87753,
    "name":"End Mill 20 mm",
    "type":"tool",
    "toolType":"User Defined Milling Tool",
    "workingsteps":[86520, 86527, 86534, 86541, 86548],
