When alignments are placed on a site, they will interact with other objects on the site.
Alignments interact with sites in two ways:
- If an alignment exists on a site with plots, the alignment will subdivide any plots it crosses over.
- If one or more alignments on a site form a closed region, a plot will be created from the region.
Alignments may be assigned to either of two collections:
- The top-level Alignments collection. When placed in this collection, an alignment will not interact with any other objects, including itself.
- The Alignments collection within a topology collection, or site. When placed here, alignments will interact with other alignments and plots on the site. If you want alignments to form plots by closed regions but not subdivide existing plots, assign alignments and plots to separate sites.
If you do not want an alignment to interact with other objects, accept the default <None> site selection when you create the alignment. Alignments can be moved or copied onto sites at a later time if interaction with other objects is desired.
