Creating & Configuring Your Coordinate System Tag 189
The menu has the following options:
• Monitor Coordinate System Tag – launches the data monitor with focus
on the coordinate system tag from which the monitor was launched.
• Fault Help – launches on-line help to assist in understanding and
correcting system faults.
• Clear Coordinate System Faults – clears all system faults associated with
this coordinate system tag. This option is grayed out (inactive) if there
are no faults associated with the selected coordinate system.
• Cut – cuts the coordinated system from its folder.
• Copy – copies the selected coordinated system and all of its properties.
• Paste – is never active from the right mouse click menu when initiated
from the coordinate system tag. It only becomes active when initiated
from a right mouse click on the Ungrouped Axes folder or Motion
Group when a coordinate system has been Cut or Copied.
• Delete – removes the coordinate system from the Motion Group Tag or
Ungrouped Axes folder.
• Cross Reference – launches the Cross Reference screen which lists all
references associated with the selected coordinate system tag.
• Print – sends tag information to the printer.
• Coordinate System Properties – launches the tabbed Coordinate System
Properties screen.
Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete
Behavior
A Coordinate System tag can be cut or copied from either a Motion Group
Tag or the Ungrouped Axes folder. Once cut or copied it can be pasted into
either a Motion Group Tag or the Ungrouped Folder.
Copy/Paste
A Copy/Paste operation implies creation of a new coordinate system tag. The
new tag has the exact same properties as its host. It is automatically given a
new name when pasted to its new location. The new name is the same as the
old one but with a one added after the last existing character. For example:
Copying and pasting the coordinate system tag coord_syst2 would create a
new tag with the name coord_syst21. Subsequent copying and pasting of the
same tag would increment the name by one on the last digit i.e. coord_syst22,
coord_syst23, coord_syst24, etc. It can be pasted into the same motion group
tag or into the Ungrouped Folder. A maximum of 32 Coordinate System tags
can be created.
