Axes Coordinates File Format
|
|
All coordinates are in Master Units.
For sections [X], [Y], [Z], [Rays], [Arcs] next row format is used:
- Axis ID (may be empty if axis is not node for another axes)
- Parent axis ID (link to axis ID, if empty then for coordinates origin point is used)
- Label - axis displayed name
- Coordinate for axis, for arcs - radius, for rays - angle in degrees
- Attributes, comma separated:
inv - axis is invisible
iso - axis coordinate is used for displaying in isometric views
...any attributes may be added in future - Comment (usually for displaying in tooltips)
Data row headers:
| ustation 3daxes coord file v2 |
First file string |
| [Origin] |
The center of coordinates
The following string should contain (X, Y, Z) coordinates for the axes origin
|
| [Description] |
Description of axes system
(using of this header will be added in future)
|
| [Rotation] |
Axes rotation
This string contains axes system rotation angle about origin point and Z axis
|
| [Direction] |
Radial axes system direction
This string contains reference angle for all angles in system
|
| [Overhang] |
Axes overhang
This string contains distance from axis end point to nearest perpendicular axis
|
| [X] |
X axes coordinates.
Strings contains axis data, format see below
|
| [Y] |
Y axes coordinates.
Strings contains axis data, format see below
|
| [Z] |
“level” axes.
Strings contains axis data, format see below
|
| [Rays] |
Ray axes.
Strings contains ray data, format see below
|
| [Arcs] |
Arcs or circles in radial axes system.
Strings contains arc/circle data, format see below
|
You can use CSV files examples for editing which are in the archive with 3D Axis application.
Axes coordinates file looks like the following text:

It is recommended to use Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice for file's editing. For example if you will open *.CSV file with Microsoft Excel, it will look like:
