how to rotate products in relation to local axis?
how to rotate products in relation to local axis?
(OP)
I need to rotate huge amount of products with 180 degree along local y axis. How can I achieve this?
(After conversion from V4 to V5, we have many products in a wrong position because the products from V5 library have a different axis as the V4 library.)
I found rotation.catscript in the portable script center, but it rotates products only in relation to the top product axis system.
Where could I find some more information for the position matrix?
I don't quite understand for the moment how it works for the array from 0 to 8.

RE: how to rotate products in relation to local axis?
When I worked for a V4 migration to V5 and put it in VPM, I saw also this problem but much worst...problem solved by running a macro to get correct positions outside VPM and then run another macro to set position inside VPM.
You can try something similar...

RE: how to rotate products in relation to local axis?
I know all standards parts that I need to rotate later in VPM and it is always with same 180 degrees around local y axis.
Or with other words, I need to replicate by macro below manipulation:
I was thinking that I should be able to define the rotation using the position matrix.
Is it not possible to rotate std parts?
