Store/Load a 3-D Viewing Angle

Top  Previous  Next

 

Storing an interesting 3-D viewing angle you select the menu item view|3-D viewing angle while the 3-D window is active. Click the button ‘new’ immediately. Then you will be asked to enter a name for the viewing angle. The button will not be selectable anymore if you have already selected a viewing angle out of the list.

 

Recalling a viewing angle you select it out of the list with a double click or you mark it and click ‘ok’. You can also browse the list by the arrow keys, the 3-D view is updated then immediately. If you have found the desired viewing angle you will have to confirm with ‘return’.

 

It is not possible to change a viewing angle that is already stored. The size of the window and the position is not stored.

 

You can also activate the stored viewing angles by the PLC. To do this load the number of the entry that you want to activate into accu 1 and call up the FUNC 110. If you want to store new viewing angles or delete them you will have to adjust the numbers in the PLC-program. You should not call up the FUNC 110 cyclically but only if a really new viewing angle shall be displayed because it is very time-consuming.

The FUNC 111 works just the same but in addition the time (in 1/10 sec) that shall be used to change from one view to the next one has to be displayed in accu 2. This display relates to the real time and not to the virtual simulation time.

 

You can also specify changing or moving viewing angles by the attractors.
