Create Feature - Marking

Purpose:

To create one or more markings in a number of shell profiles.

Prerequisites:

A shell profile (and thus at least one shell stiffener) must exist.

Instructions:

• In create mode, the user must indicate one or more shell profiles in which to create the markings, and then give a marking definition. If any shell profiles are already selected, they will be used as input to this function.

  The user must enter the position of the marking or markings in the Positions field. The Profile Height and Symmetric check boxes together with Direction and Inclination Angle may be used to set the appearance of the markings. A text may also be entered in the Marking Text field.

• In modify mode, the user may change the marking definition. The modification will only affect the markings in the selected shell profile. If markings have been created in several profiles at once, the marking definitions in the different profiles must be changed one at a time.

Options:

None available.

Result:

• In create mode, markings will be created in the selected shell profiles. The Store function may be used to store the shell profile with the new markings on the hull structure data bank.

• In modify mode, the shell profile will be updated with the new marking definition. To make changes permanent, Store must be used. Using the Skip function before the shell profile has been stored will undo the changes.
