Axis Coordinates from Inspector

[nabrahamson]

So to follow up, I've been able to reproduce the coordinate system in inspector. However, I am now trying to move that screw along one of the axis of that coordinate system by doing the following:

moveaction = vizact.moveTo(y_trans,time = 1.0, mode = viz.ABS_GLOBAL)
screw.addAction(moveaction)

The point y_trans refers to is the endpoint of the green axis in the attached photos. As you can see by the second photo, the screw does not get moved to the end of the green Axis. Is viz.ABS_GLOBAL the wrong mode to use with this command? Or am I just referring to the wrong coordinate system?

No, you will want to use the default viz.ABS_PARENT mode, since you want the screw to move along its local axes.

How are you getting a handle to the screw object in Vizard? Are you using the getChild command?
