Use the Part Builder Autolayout commands to define the placement point where a part is inserted into a drawing.
The Options dialog box is displayed.
In the part browser, Autolayout Data is added to Modeling, and trim length points are displayed on the model in the modeling area.
You are prompted to select the start and end of the trim length. Repeat this for the three trim lengths required for auto layout of the part.
For the start of trim length 1, select the point at the center of the part. For the end of trim length 2, select the point at the left end of the part.
For the start of trim length 2, select the point at the center of the part. For the end of trim length 2, select the point at the right end of the part.
For the start of trim length 3, select the point at the top of the branch (the center of the part). For the end of trim length 3, select the point at the bottom of the branch.
Trim length lines are displayed between the selected points.
You are prompted to select a point on your model. This point is the location at which connecting segments would intersect if they were extended along their logical paths. The placement point is used as the insertion point for the part when it is added to a drawing during autolayout.
A placement point is displayed at the selected location.
