that is a nice idea to start with und would help a lot already I was actually thinking of generalizing the limits from cubes (tool must stay within x/y/z softlimit cube) to a 'blocks world', basically a list of 3d objects which could not only be displayed on the backplot but also tested for intersection on each trajectory. For instance, the chuck could be approximated as a cylinder object on the Z axis. A vise would be a cube sitting on the xy plane etc. Some of these are static, like the chuck; some of them are moving or movable parts (tools, but also clamps). One could generalize tools as 3d objects as well. -- I admit I might be going overboard with generalization - I'm just floating an idea. -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
