Multiple Axis Systems

[JohnForeman]

Does FC support multiple axis systems? If not, are there any plans to support it in the future?
thanks

For modeling: yes, for path creation: no; only a prototype exists. It is planned for the future, helping hands are welcome.

Chris,
can you point me in the right direction for the 'modeling' multiple axis functionality?
As for a helping hand, i wish i knew enough python and C++ to help but my skills are limited and i'm buried in other work tasks.
thanks

hi

see Create and display local coordinate system

.......

Code: Select all

lcs = App.activeDocument().addObject( 'PartDesign::CoordinateSystem', 'LCS' )

It's very nice and powerful, but hidden from sight for no reason that I can understand.

see Model origin
