Origin Translation ​

Overview ​

The origin translation feature moves the origin of the coordinate system to a new position while keeping the rotation angle and axis directions unchanged. It is ideal for quickly setting the zero point to a specific location on the workpiece.

Steps ​

Step 1: Click the Function Button ​

In the Measurement Bar, click the Origin Translation button.

Step 2: Select the New Origin ​

In the Vision Area or Geometry Area, select a point element or a feature point of any element as the new origin.

Step 3: Generate the New Coordinate System ​

After selection, the software automatically generates a new coordinate system with the selected point as the origin. The rotation angle and axis directions remain unchanged.

Notes ​

  • Only the origin position is changed; the axis directions and rotation angle remain unchanged
  • The selected point can be a point element or a feature point of any element (e.g. circle, line)
  • After completing the operation, use the Work button in the Readout Area to switch to the new coordinate system
