Jogging with Direct Manipulation

This procedure shows how to jog a mechanism by dragging its joints in the display window.
Open the V4Axis_Machine.CATProduct file from the  online/mtbug_C2/samples/V5/4AxisMachine directory.  In addition:

  1. Click the Jog Mechanism .

  2. Move the mouse over one of the joints in the display window.

    The driven joint highlights and the manipulator appears.

  3. Drag the joint with the left mouse button.

    Direct manipulation can only be applied to revolute, prismatic, and cylindrical joints that are classified as driven. In other words, the joint must be driven directly by one or more command values.

  4. Click the Reset button in the Jog dialog box.
