TRAFO_TYP_214 – Angle projection

Release Note

Function available as of V3.1.3115.0.

Transformation structure:

The transformation is defined by a PCS axis and a tilt angle.

The transformation with the ID 214 corresponds to a projection of a main plane onto a PCS axis tilted at an angle.

The figures below show the X axis tilted. The Y coordinate is projected onto the Z axis and added to the Z coordinate.

For example, a circle on the X/Y plane results in an ellipse in the transformed PCS’ system tilted about the X axis.

When the Y axis is tilted, the Z coordinate is projected onto the X axis and added to the X coordinate.

When the Z axis is tilted, the X coordinate is projected onto the Y axis and added to the Y coordinate.

Notice

The plane is tilted at the angle in the mathematically positive direction, i.e. anti-clockwise.

Restrictions of the transformation:

1. The tilt angle must be between -60° and +60°; tilt angles outside of the permissible range trigger the error ID 292010.
2. Tilting is only possible about one of the three axes X, Y or Z of the PCS system; permissible values are 1, 2 or 3. Other values will trigger error ID 22281.
