I am trying to set up a tool with the custom tool plane. I have set up this script that sets the tool location and does the rotation of A B and C around world Z Y and X respectively. I have compared this set up to the custom tool component and I seem to be getting the same result. My confusion is in the construct plane component, the plane positive Z is in the negative world X which feels counter intuitive to how the tool works in the simulation moving with the robot. Although I have achieved the desired result, I do not understand why.
My plan is to log all my tool data in an excel file and load the values through this script. An alternate version would be a request an option to expose the XYZABC values for the custom tool component instead of having to load them through the dialog box.
Hello,
The tool axis direction is an ongoing issue that we will definitely address in the next "breaking" (i.e. non-compatible with the current version) release.
Of course you can use XYZABC directly, you just need to switch the input of the component via right-clicking. I've attached a screenshot!
All the best,
Johannes
I thought that must already be a feature, brilliant. Thanks Johannes.
