About Editing Best Fit Alignment Entities

Modify the regression data for alignment elements that were created by best fit.

The regression data can be modified, and then applied to the element. If the element is grip edited, it can be re-synchronized with the original regression data.

The Regression Data vista displays the source regression data from which the best fit element was created. The regression data can be modified either before or after the element has been created. The information in the Regression Data vista can be changed, and then applied to the element. If the element parameters are changed outside the Regression Data vista, the element can be synchronized to the current regression data.

The Alignment Elements vista displays a form that is like a spread sheet, where each row represents an alignment element and each column represents a parameter. When an element is created by best fit, Best Fit is displayed in the Constraint2 column. Click in this column to edit the source regression data.

Regression data is not dynamically linked to the best fit element. If the element is edited, appears in both the Regression Data and Alignment Elements vistas.

Note: You can edit only values that are available, you cannot edit unavailable (shaded) text.

Editing Floating Best Fit Elements

The manner in which a best fit floating element reacts to edits to the attachment element depends on whether the best fit element is synchronized with the best fit sample data:
