What are counterparts?

In Location simulation counterparts are a special kind of object created by the simulator (you never need to create them yourself) in drive tags and counterpart mode. They are transparent versions of the tagged object displayed to give a visual indication of what the simulator is doing “under the hood”, alongside the location of the tagged object itself. This is because tag locations have noise added and location rules might make the object be nowhere near the simulated position, although generally the counterpart will be (very) near the simulated object.
