Delta X on Surface

Point: Delta X on Surface

Add a point that is located on a target surface at a specified 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.
Delta X	Specifies the offset value from the point specified in the From Point row. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Surface Target	Specifies the surface target parameter.
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 Delta X On Surface Example.pkt

The example PKT contains two Delta X On Surface point examples. In the Flowchart, each example is constructed in a separate sequence. Each example has a Delta X value assigned, but the value is overridden in the Offset Target (P1 to P2) example.

To review the parameters, select the Slope to Surface point in the Flowchart, and then see the Point Geometry Properties section of the Properties panel.
