Syntax

*Tracking (On/Off, "Name", OnDx/OffDx, OnDy/OffDy, OnDz/OffDz, OnRx/OffRx, OnRy/OffRy, OnRz/OffRz, TimestepIndex)

Application

HyperView

Inputs

On
Turns tracking on.
Off
Turns tracking off.
"Name"
The name of the entity to be tracked as it appears in the Entity list on the Tracking panel. Must be in double quotes. Options Include:
Plane
Tracks the entity's position and rotation relative to a plane defined by three nodes. The nodes can be on different models.
"Plane (Node1, Node2, Node3), (Model1, Model2, Model3)"
Example: *Tracking(On, "Plane:(1244,1165,1062),(0,0,0)", OnDx, OnDy, OnDz, OnRx, OnRy, OnRz, 999999)
Node
Tracks the position of a node on a model.
"Node:Node, Model"
Example: *Tracking(On, "Node:1153,0", OnDx, OnDy, OnDz, OffRx, OffRy, OffRz, 999999)
OnDx
Tracks the entity’s movement along the X axis.
OffDx
Turns tracking off along the entity’s X axis.
OnDy
Tracks the entity’s movement along the Y axis.
OffDy
Turns tracking off along the entity’s Y axis.
OnDz
Tracks the entity’s movement along the Z axis.
OffDz
Turns tracking off along the entity’s Z axis.
OnRx
Tracks the entity’s rotation along the X axis.
OffRx
Turns tracking off along the entity’s X axis of rotation.
OnRy
Tracks the entity’s rotation along the Y axis.
OffRy
Turns tracking off along the entity’s Y axis of rotation.
OnRz
Tracks the entity’s rotation along the Z axis.
OffRz
Turns tracking off along the entity’s Z axis of rotation.
