As you move the cursor over the selection locations in an assembly, the HUD provides feedback and cues about each possible selection and, when appropriate, a box for precise input.
|
Access: |
The HUD is displayed when you move the cursor to a possible selection in an active Grip Snap command. |
The Grip Snap Options dialog box includes an option to show degrees of freedom for selected components. When selected, the translational and rotational degrees of freedom for the active component or assembly selection are included in the DOF.
The HUD can contain:
- A text string reflecting the selection of the Grip Snap move option.
- An icon that represents degrees of freedom followed by a box with the associated value.
- An icon that represents translation followed by a box with the associated degrees of freedom, in a range of 3 to 0.
- An icon that represents rotation followed by a box with the associated degrees of freedom, in a range of 3 to 0.
Context Menus
The context menu associated with the HUD is available during an active Grip Snap command, except when the move options are displayed. It contains additional options appropriate for the current point in the Grip Snap operation.
| Option | Description | |

Back | Backs out and deselects geometry while keeping the command active. |
 |
Cancel | Cancels the moves and/or rotations that were previewed by Grip Snap and closes the command. |
| Clear Snaps | Clears the snap sequence that was preserved in the Grip Snap operation. | |
| Continue | Continues the operation the same as a click. | |
