„XY“, „xy“, „ZX“, „zx“, „YZ“, „yz“

----

The direction of the second and third axis is calculated in a way, that the result is a right-handed system. In this case the third axis is always on the same side of the plane like the Z (effector) axis.

The following 2 examples show the correct settings of P-CHAN-00031 and P-CHAN-00050.

Examples:
