Strange value for no max axial limitation of a mate

Member Posts: 16 ✭
I have this block of json returned by the api. It's really strange since the mate is a revolute mate and I didn't set any limitation on Z axis rotation, but the json seems says the value is not null. Also, the value is 0 deg for maximum but in the document, the mate seems to have the freedom to rotate 360 degrees. I'm confused about the default value of each limitation.

Hi @C_Justin,
If you look further up in the json, I'm guessing you'll see:{</code>{"type" : 144,</pre><pre> "typeName" : "BTMParameterBoolean",<br> "message" : {<br> "value" : false,<br> "parameterId" : "limitsEnabled",<br> "hasUserCode" : false,<br> "nodeId" : "tfSEeDEOd+kmV/8Z"<br> }<br>}</pre><br>Indicating that the limits are indeed not enabled. If this is the case, then we don't show the limits as editable and say there are none. Additionally, if there is the relevant message in the nullValue field, that indicates that there isn't a maximum or minimum. For instance, a set zxial min to 0 will look like:<br><br><pre class="CodeBlock"><code>"type" : 807,
"typeName" : "BTMParameterNullableQuantity",
"message" : {
"isNull" : false,
"nullValue" : "",
"units" : "",
"value" : 0.0,
"expression" : "0 deg",
"isInteger" : false,
"parameterId" : "limitAxialZMin",
"hasUserCode" : false,
"nodeId" : "hX1hE2yBXPj2wzH/"
}
}
Whereas an unset minimum would look like: (notice the changed nullValue field){"type" : 807,
"typeName" : "BTMParameterNullableQuantity",
"message" : {
"isNull" : false,
"nullValue" : "No minimum",
"units" : "",
"value" : 0.0,
"expression" : "0.0*deg",
"isInteger" : false,
"parameterId" : "limitAxialZMin",
"hasUserCode" : false,
"nodeId" : "hX1hE2yBXPj2wzH/"
}
}5
