Virtual World

Hi, I am writing this to get advice on something different here. I am entry level Electrical Engineer, with LabVIEW experience of one year, CLAD and CTD. Passionate about LabVIEW and NI stuff. Recently had a layoff issue and luckily ended up with two opportunities of becoming LV Programmer with Alliance partener or PLC Programmer (doing reverse engineering for legacy system - later on involved in new system development). I have a confusion with right career choice, Option 1. LabVIEW Programmer Less no. of people with this skillset so maybe higher pay, Comparatively Less Jobs, Continuing my intermediate level to more experience level, Following my passion for LabVIEW, Super-specialization - not diverse profile. Option 2. PLC Programmer More no. of people with this skillset so relatively lower pay, Many many jobs, Adding new skill to my profile in addition to LabVIEW, learning new things so will be interesting, Diverse profile - in future I can compare PAC vs PLC in better way. As I said I am recent graduate and confused at moment, I would ask for a help from seniors, experienced. Correct/add any points I mentioned above. Thanks in advance.

Also see another method I am trying in which I have all 3 objects imported as a separate vrml and I called via one vrml. I tried different translate-rotate combination but nothings working out Now I am being able to attach it on LAVA, can you show me where I am making mistake. Also about the zooming thing methods you have suggested will zoom in/out complete scene, I wanted only particular part to be zoom. Thanks VugieSCARA 33v09.zip

Thanks Vugie I will check those properties. Also have you looked at the 2009 v VI I attched on NI website. Can you please have a look.

Hello Vugie ...Few more favors plzzz Is there a way I can focus and zoom in zoom out particular portion of the scene, I can do it along Z axis but it will zoom whole scene. I guess Camera Control setting but not getting how to do it. Also 1. When I RUN a vi, change camera (spherical) position and STOP a vi, next time I run my vi scene display shows last Camera position, Is there a way that for every new RUN of a program Scene Display erases old image and starts over again. Looks like re initializing Camera Position. 2. Scene in Continuous loop and Camera Controller >> Spherical. Scene display gives kind of broken and flashy display while changing camera position using mouse. 3. If I translate any object and again translate-rotate to change center of rotation, isn't it Total translation and then rotation. 4. When I plan to show stretch/compress from one end, it will be again translating object half a distance similar to Pivot ??? Is there any easy way to find Translation you apply to move your center of rotation, I waste lot of time when I import someone's vrml model, its lot easy if I make my own using 3D geometries at least I know half a distance to move. <br clear="all"> Also see another method I am trying in which I have all 3 objects imported as a separate vrml and I called via one vrml. I tried different translate-rotate combination but nothings working out Thanks in Advance For Some reason I am not being able to attach I also posted same question on NI forum which is here at the end, to download my vi SCARA3309

THANK YOU

Here it is ....I just got a reply from Ben to contact you.....Thanks a lot for your helpSCARA2009.zip

No One

I made SCARA Robot in Solidworks and imported in LAbVIEW using 3D Picture control toolkit. I am being able to access individual part.....however I still have some mating issues between few parts.... Please have a look at VI I have attached and see how Angle change for Arm2 gives weird Rotation, I guess center of Rotation needs to be moved but don't know how. Need help. Thanks in advance.
