Hi,
I am trying to move component along X axis with macro. I've foundthis sample in API tutorial, but i cant manage to transform it tomake a translation from one point to another. Can someone pleasehelp me. Ohh and i need to keep all mates active.
' Problem:
' This code shows how to use the MathUtility object
' to directly create a transformation matrix (object)
' that represents rotation about a point and an axis,
' without having to know details of the OpenGL transformations.
'
' Preconditions:
' (1) Assembly is open and fully resolved.
' (2) Assembly component is selected.
'
' Postconditions: Selected component is rotated 90° aboutassembly X axis.
