It's not explicitly stated, but it sounds like you are using the SolidWorks to URDF plugin. Assuming this, when your model is configured in SolidWorks the plugin will place reference coordinate systems at the global origin of the assembly and at the joint origins of each link. When spawned in Gazebo, this global origin is what aligns with the coordinates specified in the launch file. The global origin is taken to be the origin of the assembly in SW, which generally isn't located anywhere meaningful. In SolidWorks, you should either move the model to align with the global_origin reference coordinate system or create a new reference coordinate system closer to where you want the global origin to be.
Hi! Yes I've used SolidWorks to URDF plugin!!!
About your tip to locate solidworks model in the global origin at solidworks I've already done that! Every part that I've designed was located at origin, and when I've started the assembly of my robot model I've located 1st part at origin of the assembly! Is there such way to manipulate my urdf/xacro file to correct its position related to the gazebo world origin?
I forget to say it before ...I'm using fuerte!!!
Thank you!
