Command |
Explanation |
Snap
to Steps Off Current Axis
|
This allows
you to snap to points that are multiples of the value entered
in the step input box measured from the current axis (also
called origin). As you move your mouse pointer a label
will show the distances (coordinates) from the current axis in
multiples of the value entered in the step input box. In the
illustration below, the label is showing that the distance is
500 mm from the axis along the X axis, and 500 mm from the
axis along the Y axis. When routing you will only be able to
create segments whose length is in multiples of 500 mm.
Similarly, you will only be able to place (or move) a resource
at points that are measured in multiples of 500 mm from the
axis. You can change the value in the step input box at any
time.

Snap
to Steps Off Last Position
|
This allows you to snap to points that are multiples of
the value in the step input box measured from the last
point at which you clicked. When you select this option
the label will first show the distances from the current axis.
After you click, it will show the distances from the last
point where you clicked. You can change the value in the step
input box after a click if you want to route a segment of a
certain length or place a resource an exact distance away from
where you last clicked. |
Snap
to XY Construction Planes
|
This option
allows you to snap to the XY grids on a construction
plane. You first create a grid using the Construction Planes
command. If you have an XY grid you will only be able to place
resources at, or route to, the intersections of X and Y grids.
If you have only X or Y grids you will only be able to place
resources at, or route to, the grid lines. |
Snap
to All Construction Planes
|
Choosing
this option
allows you to snap to the X, Y or Z grids. |
Snap to
Elevation Planes
|
Selecting
this option
allows you to snap to the elevation planes of a Z grid. In the
illustration below the user is routing on the Z axis and
snapping to the elevation planes of the Z grid. |
Snap to
Drafting Elements
|
This
option is used when attaching the drafting view of a 2D
drawing to an area. By using this option you will be able to
snap to the elements of the 2D drawing. For instance, if you
are attaching the 2D drawing of a conveyor belt to an area, by
choosing this option you will be able to use the Conveyor
Reservation function to select the drawing (you select by
clicking on different elements of the drawing). This
will allow creation of an identical conveyor layout in 3D.
