The selection of a geometry automatically filters the different entities in the view, to only propose control points.

 

 

Available options:

 

 

  • Geometry : Allows you to select the point to dimension.

  • Gaps : The point coordinates are given regarding the origin frame chosen during the Control point creation, and also regarding of one of the gap applied to the electrode.

  • Style : This option allows you to choose the Control point style to applied. It is also possible to edit the chosen style to modify:

  • The Position of the entering rectangle:

    • By dragging one of the blue points, the frame can be increased following X and Y. By dragging a side of this rectangle, it can be moved following this direction.

    • A double-click edits the created text.

  • The parameters which can be displayed in the note are chosen by clicking the icon:

    • Electrode name, Gap name, Origin frame.

    • Gape value, X coordinate, Y coordinate, Z coordinate.

    • When a text parameter is used, its value is displayed on a gray background. Its value automatically changes if the parameter changes.

    • It is possible to double-click this parameter to add prefix/suffix or change its format (number of digits, unit, ...).

  • During the text entering, click needed buttons to change colors or add text parameters.

  • Layer: Assign a layer to the element. The layer can be created on the fly by clicking the button.

 

  • Extremities:

  • Symbol : Choose the extremity symbol in the list.

  • Arrow length : Give the length of the extremity arrow.

  • Arrow angle : Give the angle of the extremity arrow.

  • Circle diameter : If the extremity is a circle, choose its diameter.

  • Local attributes : These options allows you to determine the attributes of each note components, framing, arrow, projection line...

 

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

If no Control point was created before in ths document, the Control point style rubric does not exist in the entities tree. It is created on the fly, by creating the first Control point.
