Hi,

Does anyone know how to change coordinate system in translational-joints.

In the reFerence coordinate system as default is used Reference Coordinate system, it is the input coord. system. I want to use stops in x direction but for another coord. system.

 Default:                    Needed coord.system as reference:

Thanks all.

Expand the + sign under the Joint, in the Principal Axis category, set the Axis to X and on the Geometry, Click to Change and select some geometry that point in the desired direction.

If you don't have Geometry to use, then use the Coordinate System toolbar and click RZ and type in the rotation angle.

Then you will have this:
