Inside Cimatron, the toolpath points are defined relative to each procedure UCS (also known as the procedure origin). GPP2 converts every tool point to the REF coordinate system.
ROT_MAT and TRANS_MAT are not used in GPP2. All conversions between the original procedure UCS and the REF UCS are being taken care of by GPP2.
The following diagram shows a tool point in the REF UCS (showing both position and orientation), as well as the original position vector in the procedure UCS.
