Defining an Axis System

Axis System lets you locally define a new three-axis system.

This task shows you how to:


Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing geometric elements.
Important: You need to edit the axis system features that were created before V6R2013x. For this, double-click the axis system in the 3D area or in the tree. Click Ok in the Axis System Definition dialog box.

Create an Axis System from Coordinates and Geometry

  1. Select the Axis system type.
  2. Optional: Select a point to position the Origin of the axis system.
  3. Optional: Right-click the Origin box and select Insert Wireframe > Create Endpoint from the context menu to specify an end point of an element as origin.
  4. Click OK.

Create an Axis System using the Robot

  1. Drag the Robot onto a 3D model where you want to create an axis system.
  2. From the Wireframe section of the action bar, click Create axis system from robot.
