How can I show the relative coordinate between two Dummy

Post by Ken »

Hi
I build the 5-Axis mill machine in the VRep. The AxisX is not connect to the AxisY(as below). So I put the differen dummy on both them. Now I want to show the relative distance with x,y,z between two Dummy and show them in the 3D Graph. So that I can get the tools path in the graph.

Who can tell me the method or how to do it.

Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.

sim.getObjectPosition: the second argument indicates the handle of another object relative to which reference frame we want the position.

To display user data in a graph, add a graph to the scene and add a new data stream to record of type Various: user-defined. Then use sim.setGraphUserData in each simulation step.
