Use the Point by Coordinates item to create a point item at a specified location. The point can then be used for constructing other items, such as planes and lines.
To create a Point by Coordinates item:
- Open a Geometric group in the Sequence Tree.
- Click Geometry tab > Points panel > Constructed > Point by Coordinates.
The Point by Coordinates dialog contains the following areas:
Name — Enter a name for the item. The name is used in the inspection sequence, in the Report and Info tabs, and when referencing the item in other items.
Visible — Select this check box to display the item in the CAD view.
Coordinate system — Select the alignment relative to which the item's measurements are to be reported.
To specify the alignment during the inspection, select <Active Alignment>. You can then select the alignment from the Active alignment list, or by adding an Active Alignment item to the inspection sequence.
Point coordinate — Specify the position of the point relative to the selected Coordinate system. Select:
- Cartesian to enter the position in XYZ format.
- Polar to enter the position in Angle, Radius, Height format.
- Spherical to enter the position in Azimuth, Elevation, Magnitude format.
Comment — Enter any notes and extra information for the item.
Click OK to close the dialog and add the item to the inspection sequence.
