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: |
| 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. |
| Link | |
| Add 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. |
| ApplyAOR |
Specifies whether superelevation or cant will be applied to the link. Note: The ApplyAOR check box affects how the subassembly is previewed in the Subassembly Composer and how the subassembly behaves when it is used in Autodesk Subassembly Composer. You can use the Superelevation tab or the Cant tab to define values for previewing the superelevation or cant effect for the subassembly in the Preview panel. You can use the Input/Output Parameters tab to add parameters that are brought into Autodesk Subassembly Composer when the subassembly is imported.
|
| 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.
