Can I Plot Global Axis by &picture command??
According to moses manual, there are some options for &picture
-XG WIND, X MIN, X MAX-YG WIND, Y MIN, Y MAX-ZG WIND, Z MIN, Z MAX-CONNECTORS, :CONE SEL-POINTS, :PNT SEL, D MIN, D MAX-ONE VERTEX, :1V SEL-RATIO, BEG RATIO, END RATIO-STRESS, BEG RATIO, END RATIO-CDR, BEG RATIO, END RATIO-NAMES, :NAME SEL-BODY, :BODY SEL-PART, :PART SEL-PIECE, :PIECE SEL-PARENT, :PART SEL-CATEGORY, :CAT SEL-ENDS, :END SEL(1), ..., :END SEL(4)
But I cannot distinguish which one show me Global axis
How can I plot Global axis?
I don't think you can. A workaround is to draw the coordinate system as a separate body. The enclosed macro does this and allows you turn on and off the coordinate system. Hope it helps.
¯o coordsys -on on -off off &local currbody = &body(current) &describe body coord medit ~coord tube 100 10 ~arrow cone 400 1 10 &set coor_len = 5 &set arr_len = 0.5 *coordor 0 0 0 *coordx %coor_len 0 0 *coordy 0 %coor_len 0 *coordz 0 0 %coor_len *xarrow %coor_len+%arr_len -reference *coordor *coordx *yarrow %coor_len+%arr_len -reference *coordor *coordy *zarrow %coor_len+%arr_len -reference *coordor *coordz beam xaxis ~coord -nuse @ -use #dead -color red *coordor *coordx beam yaxis ~coord -nuse @ -use #dead -color green *coordor *coordy beam zaxis ~coord -nuse @ -use #dead -color blue *coordor *coordz beam xarr ~arrow -nuse @ -use #dead -color red *coordx *xarrow beam yarr ~arrow -nuse @ -use #dead -color green *coordy *yarrow beam zarr ~arrow -nuse @ -use #dead -color blue *coordz *zarrow end &if %on &then &describe activity -body -active coord &endif &if %on &then &describe activity -body -inactive coord &endif &describe body %currbody &endmacro
