APT CLS files in RoboDK - tool orientation

#1
Hi,

I'm working with a .cls files from NX y I would like to understand how RoboDK do the translation of each points to targets. In this CLS file I only have xyz ijk, how RoboDK convert this to Euler angles? Because I need two vectors to define the Euler angles, does RDK assume that the second vector is paralalel to X/Y axis or is calculated from actual point to next point?

Thanks,

RoboDK takes the ijk vector from the CLS file. This vector defines the tool axis. Including position, this gives you a 5-axis constrain.

RoboDK automatically calculates the full orientation (pose) for each point, so when you generate a program it gives you Euler angles.
