(shown in the status bar).
This coordinates effects the grid display and the View-XY (YZ,ZX)
commands. The 2d command diaplys a plane of the selected coordinates.
This option is saved with DesktopSave - this will be restored for the new part,
and independently saved with a part file.
note:
this has no connection with the CAD coordinate system, which is a reference
of the CAD 3d model read from the cad file.

316. Error in Import Surface Points
A line with coordinates in the file was not accepted if tere was less
than 4 numbers.
Now a point is created if there is at least 2 numbers in
the line (xy).
Generally, the line should have 3 or 6 numbers: xyzijk.
The numbers can be separated by any non-number characters
('0'..'9', ' ', '.', '-', '+', 'E', 'e')
If the ijk direction vector is given, axel adds a correction point to the

Now pipe end points can have Dn-axis option checked (in best fit options
table). This gives correct best fit in case the end points are shifed
along the tube ends. Only distance to the tube nominal axis will be taken
into calculation.
Now if there is at last 5 pipe points, axel enabled Dn end points by
default during pipe generating.
At the moment this function can be disabled in axel.ini file:
[Pipe]
BfitEndPtDn=0
The Dn optin can be also changed manually in best fit option property.

in the program.
NOTE : Mounting axis (probe Z) direction points towards the machine arm
(not the tip end)
Probe X axis is where probe is pointing whith 90,0 angles
__________
3.10.05
300. DMIS Alignment Rotation + Plane fixed
289. DMIS Probes.
This gets a bit more complicated at the moment.
I have found out that the programs are probably designed for probe
directions +Y-X-Z (in axel notation), while itp machine is -Y+X-Z.
Unfortunately the programs doesnt contain definition of the probe mount,
and all commands SNSDEF has mount axis 0,0,1 (which is equivalent of axel -Z).
As an experiment I have added to the dmis interface command SNSMNT which
defines all directions of the probe mount.
It deifnes ZVEC (our AB0 dir) and XVEC (our A90 dir).
NOTE : dmis ZVEC points towards the machine, while axel AB0 is along the probe tip (the opposite)
If you put a dmis line in at the beginning of program :
SNSMNT/XVEC,-1.0,0.0,0.0,ZVEC,0.0,-1.0,0.0,MNTLEN,0.0,0.0,0.0
it defines that the program was designed for probe +Y-X-Z.
Now the dmis angles will be translated to the -Y+X-Z (probe which is
set in axel before translation (DMISProbe)
NOTE : the command is valid inside single program, so should be added
to each one before translation.
288. DMIS editor

After defining normal element alignment this becomes inactive, but the
initial aligment is still remembered.
If for any reason during off-line pfograming there is a need to revert to
the initial aligment (ie when element becomes invalid), go to the dialog
and enable "Active" checkbox.
This shows the part back in the initail alignment regardless of current
element transformation, and allows to redefine the elmenet.
Part file chenged - Do not read this ver.files to the erlier versions of Axel.

258. Plane fetaure diretion calculation
(see p.339)
The probe correction is not used for a plane constructed from other
features (ie in pipe part). In those cases the direction is determined
by the component points direction (the screw rule).
257. Pipe XYZ-YBC nominal table edition
When switching from XYZ to YBC nominal table, program saves initial
transformation (first 3 points which defines elemen system).
When anything changed in YBC and switching back to XYZ, program recalulates
XYZ that starting from 0,0,0 alog X, and then adds saved transtormarion.
The efect is that the nominals after that are still in original xyz datum
ie cad.
Note:
1. At the moment this transformation is used only in nominals table edition.
When the table is left in the YBC mode, pipe sill will be generated from 0,0,0
2. YBC corrections should be made after entering at least 3 xyz point first,
to establich correct initial 3-pts tranformation (just to see predictable
coordinates in the cad coordiantes)
3. This not applies to 180deg pipe, because 180pipe is genrated always from
YBC data (from 0,0,0) and at the moment xyz points cannot be edited.

- flip vertically, rotate and move the part
Initially placed part should have then geometrical or surface element alignment
defined (on 3d cad). When the element is defined, the initial alignemnt
become inactive, but can be used again once the element is deleted.
The procedure uses some machine setup parameters, so its good to have
this close to the real machine.
290. Surface thickness plane property
Surface property for the plane is added if selectedf in program options
(Surfaces page), and if the plane is initially measured on the cad.

Sampling Method = parametric error (1)
Parametric error = 0.5
Possible methods :
0 - edge legth
1 - parametric error
For 'edge legth' define NurbsTolerLength value,
for 'parametric error' define NurbsTolerError
This setup is read from ini before each iges read. Values used for specific
iges file are stored in its LOG file.
At te moment there is no user interface for changing this oprions.
The bigger values the trialgulation is less accurate ane there is less trianles.
When trimming errors are visible change of theis method or value might help.
This apply only for nurbs surfaces (ie not for cylinder surface).
