Angle and Delta X

Point: Angle and Delta X

Add a point that is located at a specified angle and offset from another point.

Properties

Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.

Point
Point Number	Specifies the point number. You can change the automatically generated Point Number value.
Point Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the point.
Point Geometry Type
Type	Specifies the point type: Angle and Delta X Angle and Delta Y Angle and Distance Delta X and Delta Y Delta X on Surface Interpolate Point Slope and Delta X Slope and Delta Y Slope to Surface
Point Geometry Properties
From Point	Specifies the point to which the other geometry property values are relative.
Reference Point	Specifies the point that, with the From Point, forms the baseline from which the Angle is relative.
Reverse Angle Reference	Reverses the Angle, drawing the point in the opposite direction.
Angle	Specifies the angle from the baseline created between the From Point and Reference Point. Note: If Reference Point is set to None, the Angle is from the positive Delta X value. a positive angle value is drawn counterclockwise from the Delta X, and a negative value is drawn clockwise from the Delta X. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Delta X	Specifies the offset difference from the point specified in the From Point row. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Offset Target	Specifies the offset target parameter. When an offset target is specified, the offset of the target object overrides the specified Delta X value.
Auto Add Link
Auto Link To From Point	Draws a link from the point specified in the From Point row to the current point.
Name	Specifies the name of the link.
Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the link.
Miscellaneous
Comment	Indicates notes about the point. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel.

Examples

To see examples of how this geometry element is used, open the following Sample PKT file:

Point Angle and Delta X.pkt

The example PKT contains two Angle and Delta X point examples. Each Point Geometry Type is defined by Angle and Delta X parameter values, and the Delta X value may be overridden by a specified offset target parameter. The same Delta X value is used in both examples. The Static Delta X (P1 to P3) example applies the value, but the Offset Target example uses an offset target parameter that overrides the static Delta X value.

In the Flowchart, each example is constructed in a separate sequence. To review the parameters, select the Angle and Delta X point in the appropriate sequence, and then see the Point Geometry Properties section of the Properties panel.
