From the drop-down menu select Position > Equipment Point > At General.
In the lower left hand corner a screen prompt appears, asking you to identify a point on FIRE_PUMP_001.
-
By depressing the left hand mouse button and hovering the cursor over the equipment the required point can be selected.
Once the point required is selected, the Position form is displayed.
-
From the At drop-down menu, select the method of repositioning the p-point and click Apply.
In this case we have selected ID P-Point.
Cursor
Give two 'free space' cursor hits to define a new 3-D position. The equipment moves such that the picked P-Point is at the new position.
ID Cursor
Use the cursor to identify a primitive (sensibly a member primitive of the current equipment element, but could be any primitive). The equipment moves such that the equipment origin is at the (old) P0 position of the picked primitive.
ID P-Point
Use the cursor to identify a P-Point (sensibly within a member primitive of the current equipment element, but could be any primitive). The equipment moves such that the picked p-point moves to the position of the P-Point identified at the top of the Position form.
Name
Use the cursor to identify a P-Point within the current equipment element. The Name form appears. Enter the name of an element at the position to which you want to move the current element. OK the Name form.The current equipment element moves such that the picked P-Point moves to the origin of the named element.
Pin
Use the cursor to identify a P-Point within the current equipment element. The Pin Number form appears. The current equipment element moves such that the picked P-Point moves to the selected pin.
-
Again, using the left hand mouse button, select the required P-Point where the first P-Point will be repositioned to.
-
If the new position is not suitable, the Reset option can be selected.
This will set the equipment back to its original position.
-
If the position is suitable and no further positioning is to be carried out click the Dismiss option.
