As of KinematicsDesign version 1.3, a touch-probe cycle is no longer
necessary for defining a fixture. This, together with the already existing
possibility of specifying more than one insertion point in a fixture definition,
will make it possible to realize so-called integrated fixture systems.
An integrated fixture system with touch-probe cycles and more than one
insertion point can be defined for these systems. The touch-probe cycle
serves to define the position of the integrated fixture system. The insertion
points serve to define the fixture positions if more than one fixture is used. The
individual fixtures that can be installed in the integrated fixture system do not
require individual separate touch-probe cycles. Their position and orientation
must therefore be unambiguously defined by the integrated fixture system.
A view angle for the fixture can be entered manually for each touch-probe
cycle. As before, you can also have KinematicsDesign select the view angle
automatically.
Press the Apply button to save the current view of the fixture as view angle.
Press the Test button to rotate the fixture to the position that is saved as view
angle.

Manual definition of a horizontal and
vertical view angle for the fixture. During
this touch-probe cycle, the fixture is
displayed to the operator at this angle.

If this option is set, the view angle is
calculated by KinematicsDesign and is
used to display the fixture. Any manually
entered view angles will be ignored.
