@rkm,
Base coordinate system / Base feature:
Right-hand coordinate system, where Y is into the robot cable and Z-axis upwards through the centre of the Base joint.
Tool coordinate system / Tool feature
Right-hand coordinate system, where Y is away from the Tool connector, and Z is normal to the tool flange.
However, if there is a TCP offset defined, the Tool feature will be transformed by this offset, thus e.g.:
All script code moves or similar will have respect to the Base feature.
If you go to the Installation tab, choose Features > Base, and tick “Show axes”, then you will be able to see the Base coordinate system of the robot.
Then you can e.g. see it in the Move-tab.
