relateFrame()

Synopsis

Returns the Frame which represents the transform from a to b. If Frames a and b are two coordinate systems in space, the result will produce the transform to b as if a was the World coordinate system.

Frames define coordinate systems. They are essentially transformation matrices from the "world" coordinate frame. Frames can be used to position Parts, but rules regarding frames are ignored when constraint-based positioning is used. This behavior is controlled by the ignorePosition? parameter, which is common to all positionable designs.
