Select Object Type To Target

Specify whether to target Alignments or Feature Lines, Survey Figures, And Polylines.

Alignments

Select from the list any alignment you intend to target and click Add >>, click to select an alignment from the drawing, or click to select the alignment by layer. When you select alignments by layer, all alignments on the layer are selected.

Feature Lines, Survey Figures, And Polylines

Selected Entities To Target

Selection Choice If Multiple Targets Are Found

Specifies whether to select Target To Nearest Offset or Target To Farthest Offset, if there are two or more targets in the Selected Entities To Target list.

Use Targets On the Same Side As the Subassembly

Specifies whether to use targets on the side of the subassembly's attachment point that matches the subassembly’s Side parameter, or on either side of the attachment point.

If this check box is cleared, then the subassembly can use a specified target on either side.

If the subassembly does not have a Side parameter, then this setting has no effect.

  • When this check box is selected, the subassembly will use a target that matches the Side parameter specified for the subassembly (if a target on the same side is specified). For example, if the Side parameter of a subassembly is Right, then a target on the right side of the subassembly's attachment point is used. If multiple targets are on the same side, then the Selection Choice If Multiple Targets Are Found option is applied.
    Note: When this check box is selected, a target on the other side will not be used unless there are no targets specified on the same side. In that case, the first target in the Selected Entities To Target list will be used.
  • When this check box is cleared, the subassembly can use a specified target on either side. If multiple targets are specified, then the Selection Choice If Multiple Targets Are Found option is applied and will use the nearest or farthest target on either side.
    Note: When the Selection Choice If Multiple Targets Are Found option is applied, the distance between the baseline and the target is calculated as a positive value, regardless of the side of the target.
