  1. Click Jog Mechanism .

    The Jog dialog box appears.

  2. Modify the Joint command values using the slider bars.

    Notice how the motion of the mechanism is constrained by its travel limits. If you have not yet added travel limits, see Defining Travel Limits.

  3. Modify the command values by directly entering the desired displacements.

    Make sure you use the correct units for linear and angular displacements.

  4. Modify the command values using the spinner buttons.

  5. Change the linear and angular steps and repeat this procedure.

  6. Clear the Immediate check box.

  7. Move both slider bars and click on the Apply Position button.

    Every time you select the apply position bar, you can use Undo to go back from that position. Similarly, once you have used Undo to go back one position, you can use Redo to move forward.

  8. Click the Reset button on the Jog dialog box to reset the values.
