Partial description table (SUBFILE)
The SUBFILE makes it possible to integrate the kinematics of entire machine
components (such as swivel heads and machine tables) from an external
description table. The structure of these tables is identical to that of the
description tables, but with the restriction that TOOLFILEs and SUBFILEs cannot
be included in them.
Transformations, machine axes and collision objects (CMO) can be entered in
the SUBFILE.
The kinematics description of a SUBFILE becomes active at the point from
which it is included within the description table. However, please note that the
SUBFILE is already referenced in the assignment table via the SUBFILE1 or
SUBFILE2 column.
If no partial description table is entered in the SUBFILE1 or SUBFILE2 columns
of the assignment table, then any SUBFILE1 / SUBFILE2 entry in the
description table has no effect.
In the following representation, the SUBFILE1 referenced via the assignment
table is included in the description table.
