XPlanar Coordinate System

Coordinate system replaces the MovementArea The XPlanarCoordinateSystem replaces the previous XPlanarMovementArea.

A part can be positioned at one or more positions in one or more coordinate systems.

As soon as the driver is started, each part registers with its defined position in the corresponding coordinate system. MovementAreas with all possible arrangements of the parts are then automatically generated for each coordinate system.

If no coordinate system position can be created for the part, the part uses its own MovementArea. Therefore, no coordinate system object needs to be created if only one part is used or if no connection between different parts is required.

If a part is never to be removed from a coordinate system, the IsFixed parameter must be set to TRUE. This procedure reduces the start-up time and requires less storage capacity.

The ActiveIndex parameter indicates the position at which the part is assigned in the XPlanarCoordinateSystem:

• The Part ActiveIndex is set to 0 by default. This means that the part uses its own MovementArea.
• If the Part ActiveIndex >0, the MovementArea is selected from the list. The corresponding coordinate system starts with index 1.
