Mod to Journal

Mod to Journal

Mod to Journal

(OP)
Hi Everyone, I've had some help with some journals which I real appreciate. However i have a question about the attached journal. I've modified a standard version of this file, so it adds extra columns with appropriate tolerances and all this, but my question is can I make it read from a specific axis system? I've been through it and had a play, but can't seem to change it so it works. Not sure if it could be changed so it picks up a name of a system, so for example i name a axis system 'Dave' and then edit the appropriate part of the program to pick up axis system 'Dave' and produce co-ords from there.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Engineering.com doesn't like the ampersand (&) in your file name.

Can you rename & upload the file again.

The function, UF_CSYS_map_point, will convert points from the absolute coordinate system to the work coordinate system (or vice versa). A code example can be seen here: thread561-325985: Change Global Co-ordinates to Local Co-ordinates using NXOpen?

Unfortunately, you can't pass in a saved csys to the function; it seems to only work with the absolute and work coordinate systems. You may have to do a little extra work like moving the WCS to the saved csys before calling the function.
