Interactive linear axis ruler

Application area:

The interactive linear axis ruler displays the position of a machine node while it is dragged along a linear axis in the 3D view. It shows the current axis coordinate and travel limits, helping position the node and assess its location within the available travel range.

The ruler is used with Interactive Machine when adjusting the machine position directly in the graphic window.

Ruler elements:

Axis scale. Represents the travel range along the linear axis being moved.

Current axis coordinate. Displays the axis name and its current coordinate beside the position marker. In the illustration, the label X: -489.444 identifies the axis and its position.

Travel limits. Mark the ends of the axis travel range, allowing the current position to be compared with the limits.
