German term or phrase: Längenachse
Standardmäßig verwendet CAT die X-Achse als ***Längenachse*** für alle Bones. Das bedeutet: Wenn Sie einen Bone auswählen, "Verschieben" aktiv und das lokale Koordinatensystem eingestellt ist, wird die Achse als Längenachse dienende Achse entlang des Bones ausgerichtet.

Festlegen der Bone-Längenachse
Wenn Sie das CAT-Parent auswählen und zur Modifikatorgruppe wechseln, wird dort der Bereich "Bone-***Längenachse***" angezeigt. Wenn Sie diese Einstellung von X auf Z ändern, stellen Sie fest, dass die Bones jetzt in Richtung der Z-Achse verlaufen.

"By default, CAT uses the X axis as the length axis for all bones. This means that if you select a bone and activate Move transform mode and set the coordinate system to Local, the axis designated as the length axis is aligned with the length of the bone."
