Use an axis in gearing as well as in camming mode #59

Open FreMur opened 5 months ago

FreMur commented 5 months ago

Hello,

In some applications, I would need to cam or gear an axis depending on situation. With the model used with two different objects based on FB_BasicAxis. The solution would be to Extend FB_CamSlaveAxis from FB_BasicSlaveAxis. At that point a Cam slave axis would be able to do everything.

Thanks in advance

Main reason for the separate blocks is so that we don't pull a camming license unnecessarily.

I understand that purpose, but if FB_CamSlaveAxis Extend from FB_BasicSlaveAxis, you can use a FB_BasicSlaveAxis without any cam licence. This has advantage to have all possibilities (gearing and camming) with FB_CamSlaveAxis. No limit with FB_CamSlaveAxis and no licence with FB_BasicSlaveAxis.
