Detailed Description

Represents the World Coordinate System.

The origin coordinates and orientation matrix are always relative to the absolute coordinate system.

In order to use any of the WCS methods, the display part must be the part that owns the WCS.

To obtain an instance of this class, refer to BasePart

Created in NX3.0.0.

NXOpen::CartesianCoordinateSystem* NXOpen::WCS::CoordinateSystem

(

)

Returns the CartesianCoordinateSystem associated with the WCS
Created in NX3.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::Point3d NXOpen::WCS::Origin

(

)

Created in NX3.0.0.

License requirements : None

void NXOpen::WCS::Rotate	(	NXOpen::WCS::Axis	rotationAxis,
		double	angle
	)

Rotates the WCS about the specified axis.

The angle is in degrees.
Created in NX3.0.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

rotationAxis	Which WCS axis to rotate about (X, Y, or Z)
angle	Angle of rotation in degrees

NXOpen::CartesianCoordinateSystem* NXOpen::WCS::Save

(

Created in NX3.0.0.

License requirements : None

NXOpen::CartesianCoordinateSystem* NXOpen::WCS::SetCoordinateSystem

(

NXOpen::CartesianCoordinateSystem *

newCs

)

The return value is the old coordinate system.

Returns

The old coordinate system for the WCS
Created in NX4.0.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

newCs

The new coordinate system for the WCS

NXOpen::CartesianCoordinateSystem* NXOpen::WCS::SetCoordinateSystemCartesianAtCsys

(

NXOpen::CartesianCoordinateSystem *

newCs

)

Creates a WCS at a new coordinate system.

The return value is the old coordinate system of wcs.

Returns

The old coordinate system for the WCS
Created in NX7.5.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

newCs

New coordinate system location for the WCS

void NXOpen::WCS::SetOrigin

(

const NXOpen::Point3d &

origin

)

Sets the origin of the WCS
Created in NX3.0.0.
