System Control Overview | Statement List
These GRIP statements are used to transform objects. These statements perform the same functions that are defined in NX using the Transformation option.
Transformations are performed in GRIP using a matrix. This matrix can be defined in several ways. Once the matrix is defined, a transformation is performed by specifying that matrix in the transformation statement. In GRIP, therefore, there is only one transformation statement, leaving the different types of transformations (scale, mirror, reposition, etc.) up to the matrix specified.
GRIP does not allow transformation about a specific point or line in a single step. All transformations about an origin are performed either about the origin of the WCS or about the X, Y, or Z axis.
However, by making a transformation matrix a product of two other matrices, you can cause the desired transformation to take place. When a matrix is the product of two other matrices, the transformation takes place from the second matrix to the first.
