Specification:

Object Points: The part (or assembly) to be moved.

Obj1:        The first point of the line on the part to be moved.

Obj2:        The second point of the line on the part to be moved.

 

Target Points: The part or parts locating the object.

Tgt1:        The first point of the line on the target.

Tgt2:        The second point of the line on the target.

Tgt3:        The rotation point.

         Used with the direction vector to create the axis of rotation of the object to the target.

 

Direction:        A vector defining the rotating axis that rotates the object to the target.

 

Description:

The target consists of two points that create a line, a rotation point, and a vector that defines the axis of rotation.

 

Note:        1. If AssocDir is selected, by default the direction will be the Associated Vector of Target Point # 3.

2. All associated vectors default to (0, 0, 1) if corresponding point is not selected.

 

The object consists of two points that create a line. The object is rotated about the axis until the object line is parallel with the target line.

 

NOTE:   The rotation point (Tgt3) can be any point. It can be on the target, object or any point on another part.
