Note:
  • The check succeeds if specified reference frame is present.

Context

To fixate components, a reference system with three references (primary, secondary,and tertiary reference) must be defined.

  • The primary reference is defined by three datum targets
  • The secondary reference is defined by two datum targets
  • The tertiary reference is defined by one datum target
You an use this check to identify and correct the names of the captures and the datum reference frame based in the specified name of the reference system.

If no capture exists, a capture with the specified name is created and the reference system is added to this capture.
