Setting and changing coordinate system properties

Add a Coordinate System

Orient a Coordinate System

Position a Coordinate System

 To rotate a coordinate system around an axis
  1. Open the Markups pane in the WorkSpace. (See The SpinFire Professional 11.0 User Interface and Browsers.) All coordinate systems are listed.
  2. Right-click the coordinate system. This can be done either on the Markups tab or the frame in the 3D scene.
  3. Click Properties.This opens the Coordinate System dialog box.
  4. Click the Rotation tab.
  5. Select an axis around which to rotate the coordinate system.
  6. In the Rotation value field, enter the number of degrees you want the coordinate system to rotate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The coordinate system context menu
 Hide/show the coordinate system
  1. Open the Markups pane in the WorkSpace. (See The SpinFire Professional 11.0 User Interface and Browsers.) All coordinate systems are listed.
  2. Clear or select the checkbox next to the name of the coordinate system.
 To set the active coordinate system
  1. Open the Markups pane in the WorkSpace. (See The SpinFire Professional 11.0 User Interface and Browsers.) All coordinate systems are listed.

  2. Right-click the coordinate system you want to make active.This can be done from either the Markups tab or the 3D scene.

  3. From the coordinate system context menu, select Active Coordinate System.

Note

A dimension markup takes its measurement with respect to the coordinate system that is active at the time the markup is created. When the active coordinate system changes, the dimension label will not change---it will still display the measurement with respect to the coordinate system that was active when the dimension was created.
 To focus on a coordinate system

A scene always contains the Global Coordinate System and may contain additional coordinate systems. The Focus command sets the origin point of a coordinate system to the center of your view.

  1. Right-click a coordinate system.This may be done either in the Markups pane or in the scene.
  2. Select Focus.

 

Note

You may also call the Focus command by double-clicking the coordinate system listing in the Markups tab.

The Coordinate System Properties dialog box also has a button that calls the Focus command.

The Global Coordinate System cannot be renamed.

 To rename a coordinate system
  1. Open the Markups pane in the WorkSpace. (See The SpinFire Professional 11.0 User Interface and Browsers.) All coordinate systems are listed.
