New Feature - Location page

Specify the location of the feature:

• XYZ — The feature is aligned so that its depth is parallel with the -Z direction of the Setup. You position it by specifying the X, Y, and Z coordinates in the plane of the Setup.



• Polar — The feature is aligned so that its depth is parallel with the -Z direction of the Setup. It is positioned by specifying a Radius and Angle.

  - Radius - Angle

• Polar on the OD — The Radius specifies the distance of the feature from the Z axis. The Angle is the counter-clockwise angle, in degrees, from the X axis. The Y shift distance is the distance the feature is translated from the radius in Y. The Z coordinate is the distance the feature is translated in the Z direction. This option is available only for turn/mill documents.

  - Y shift - Angle - Radius

• Radial about axis — For 4th-axis parts.

This point that you are specifying corresponds to the symbol in the diagrams.

To complete this page:

1. Enter the location of a point in the X, Y, and Z fields, or click Pick location and select a point in the graphics window. Use snap modes to select precise locations.
2. If you are creating a Mill feature, enter an angle in the A field, that represents a counter-clockwise rotation around the feature location.
3. Click Next.
