Point: Delta X on Surface
Add a point that is located on a target surface at a specified 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. |
| Delta X | Specifies the offset value from the point specified in the From Point row. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value. |
| Surface Target | Specifies the surface target parameter. |
| 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 Delta X On Surface Example.pkt
The example PKT contains two Delta X On Surface point examples. In the Flowchart, each example is constructed in a separate sequence. Each example has a Delta X value assigned, but the value is overridden in the Offset Target (P1 to P2) example.
To review the parameters, select the Slope to Surface point in the Flowchart, and then see the Point Geometry Properties section of the Properties panel.
