Motion Name

Motion Name (read-write) (default = Motion0, Motion1, ... )

Enter a new Motion Name with your keyboard.

Press the ENTER key on your keyboard.

The new Motion-Name is now the Motion name-tab.

Motion Cycle Data

Number-of-POINTS (read-write) ( default = 360)

The number-of-points along the active motion graph.

Note:

Enter Number-of-Points = 361 to put a Motion-Point exactly on each machine-degree as defined by the MMA.

RPM [ Cycles/Min ] (read-only)

RPM : Machine cycles per minute.

See: MechDesigner - Edit menu>Machine Settings>Cycling Parameters>Cycles/Min

Seconds / Cycle ( read-only )

Seconds / Cycle = 60 / Cycles/Min

Motion Units

X–axis Units: ( default = degrees )

Units available: counts: sec, msec, cycle, degree, radian.

Y–axis Units: ( default = degrees or mm )

Units available: mm, cm, m, inch, degree, radian, cycle, count.

Note:

Change from Angular to Linear Units, or vice versa: If you change from Angular Units to Linear Units, then

The motion does not have a different physical value when you select different Y-axis units. E.g. 90mm becomes 0.090m, or 3.543inches.
