Detailed Description

Represents the World Coordinate System.

The origin coordinates and orientation matrix are always relative to the absolute coordinate system.

In order to use any of the WCS methods, the display part must be the part that owns the WCS.

To obtain an instance of this class, refer to NXOpen.BasePart

Created in NX3.0.0

Member Function Documentation

unsafe void NXOpen.WCS.Rotate ( NXOpen.WCS.Axis  rotationAxis, double  angle  )

inline

Rotates the WCS about the specified axis.

The angle is in degrees.

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

rotationAxis	Which WCS axis to rotate about (X, Y, or Z)
angle	Angle of rotation in degrees

unsafe NXOpen.CartesianCoordinateSystem NXOpen.WCS.Save ( )

inline

Saves the WCS.

A new cartesian coordinate system is created in the work part, even though the WCS is owned by the display part.

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

The saved coordinate system

unsafe NXOpen.CartesianCoordinateSystem NXOpen.WCS.SetCoordinateSystem ( NXOpen.CartesianCoordinateSystem  newCs )

inline

Changes the coordinate system of the WCS to a new coordinate system.

The return value is the old coordinate system. The old coordinate system will be displayed after the WCS is moved to the location of the new coordinate system.

Created in NX4.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

newCs

The new coordinate system for the WCS

Returns

The old coordinate system for the WCS

unsafe NXOpen.CartesianCoordinateSystem NXOpen.WCS.SetCoordinateSystemCartesianAtCsys ( NXOpen.CartesianCoordinateSystem  newCs )

inline

Creates a WCS at a new coordinate system.

The return value is the old coordinate system of wcs.

Created in NX7.5.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

newCs

New coordinate system location for the WCS

Returns

The old coordinate system for the WCS

unsafe void NXOpen.WCS.SetOriginAndMatrix ( NXOpen.Point3d  origin, NXOpen.Matrix3x3  matrix  )

inline

Sets the origin and orientation matrix of the WCS

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

origin	Origin relative to the absolute coordinate system
matrix	Orientation relative to the absolute coordinate system. Must be orthonormal.
