Explicit Position Window

Use the Explicit Position window to move an element from its current position to an explicitly defined position.

You must first select the element to be positioned in the design explorer or in the 3D graphical view, from the main menu bar, click Position > Explicitly (AT). The Explicit Position window is displayed.

Explicitly Defined Position

A datum (a point to move relative to) must now be set, from the Datum drop-down menu click to identify the datum.

Note:
The options available in the drop down list, are dependent upon the element selected as the CE.

Once the datum has been selected, it is displayed in the 3D graphical view, you can now define the position explicitly:

The position (co-ords) must now be set:

Note:
X (East), Y (North), Z (Up), -X (negative East), -Y (negative North) or -Z (Negative Up).

If required, select one or all of the Lock check boxes to fix the current co-ordinate along the X, Y or Z axis.

If required, the axes to which all co-ordinates are interpreted with respect to must now be set.

If required, in the wrt box, input the name of the element to which all co-ordinates are interpreted with respect to.

The default is /*, refer to Explicit Position Icon, if this is not the case, input the name of the required element.

Click Apply, the selected item is moved to its new position, to explicitly position another item, click to choose from the Select drop-down list:

Note:
Settings is a system admin option.
