We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi DAQIAN,

Thanks for posting and asking your query. The placement and orientation of Relative CS is controlled by Axis/Position.

X Axis value controls the direction in which X axis of Relative CS is oriented with respect to Global CS.

For example X-value (1,0,0) orientes X-axis of Relative CS in same direction as X-axis of Global CS, and (0,1,0) means X-axis of Relative CS aligns as Y-axis of Global CS.

Y-point in similar sense orients the Y-axis of  Relative CS to that of Global CS. For example Y-value (0,1,0) orientes Y-axis of Relative CS in same direction as Y-axis of Global CS, and (0,0,1) means Y-axis of Relative CS aligns as Z-axis of Global CS.

The X Axis and Y point works in combination and are dependent on each other. For example keeping X Axis and Y point values same (1,0,0) & (1,0,0) tool will throgh the error saying "RelativeCSParameters: X and Y vectors are parallel."

Thanks,Â
