The Node Between Coordinates tool allows you to create nodes when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model. To access this tool, click 
().
The Node Between Coordinates command is used to create nodes on the (imaginary) straight line between two coordinates that you select. The two coordinates need not be on an existing curve, and if there is a curve, it need not be a straight line.
You can specify the number of nodes to create between the two coordinates. They will be evenly spaced.
Dialog elements
- Coordinate 1
- Specify the first of two coordinates between which you plan to create new nodes.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15).
- Coordinate 2
- Specify the second of two coordinates between which you plan to create new nodes.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15).
- Number of nodes
- Type the number of nodes you wish to create on the (imaginary) straight line between Coordinate 1 and Coordinate 2. The nodes will be evenly spaced.
- Automatic apply when selection complete
- When this checkbox is activated, the selected tool is applied automatically to the chosen mesh elements whenever all inputs have been specified.
- Create as
- Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example
- You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
- You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.
Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change. - Filter
- The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
