What is the easiest way to get the transformation matrix between mates? Onshape to ROS URDF

leroy_elileroy_eli Member Posts: 2

My goal is to import a model to my ROS environment (URDF file directly).

This process involves graphically defining critical frames on the assembly/part model, to feed a tree frame (ROS tf_frames). I'm using Onshape Mates to define those so called critical frames.

URDF parameters expect xyz rpy values (translation and rotation transform).

I want to get those values from those defined frames (represented by Mates) using Onshape.
