- If know the global coordinates of object, stop surface, optical elements and image surface, how to quickly input the parameters of elements to set up the layout ?
- How to convert the non-sequence mode to sequential mode in optic studio?
Thank you,
Thank you,

Hi Ruik,
Sequential mode is inherently setup differently than non-sequential mode in terms of positioning elements. As the name implies, each surface is sequentially placed with respect to the surface immediately before it. In order to mimic global positioning in sequential mode, you will need to use Coordinate Breaks with Coordinate Returns. The concept is as follows:
I have a LinkedIn post which describes this and also has a ZPL macro which allows you to position mirrors in global XYZ space. If you have lens elements, then you can go back into the modified LDE and change the mirrors to lenses.
As for converting from Non-Sequential to Sequential, there is no built in tool that does this. You’ll need to manually convert any file back to sequential mode.
