A collection of handles which together provide a mechanism for positioning and orientation of selected elements. The Locator Handle can be used to drag the entire Graphical Selection to a new position or rotate the entire Graphical Selection through an angle about a selected axis.
The Locator Handle can be moved or rotated independently of the Graphical Selection. This allows you to set a datum for movement and alignment operations, or to set an axis of rotation about which the Graphical Selection will be rotated.
|
The Linear Movement Handle |
A handle situated on the Locator Handle, which when selected for a drag operation, constrains movement of the selection to be along the direction of the selected major axis |
|
The Planar Movement Handle |
A handle situated on the Locator Handle, which when selected for a drag operation, constrains movement of the selection to be in the plane indicated by the planar movement handle. That is the XY, XZ or YZ plane of the Locator Handle |
|
The Rotation Handle |
A handle situated on the Locator Handle, which when selected for a rotation operation, constrains movement of the selection to be about the axis corresponding to the selected rotation handle |
The Locator Handle provides three ways to move or rotate a Graphical Selection:
-
Dragging the linear, planar or rotation handles freehand with the mouse pointer.
-
Aligning with points, P-points, P-lines or straight lines (edges) on other displayed PlantPlant items.
-
Typing in world position, offset distance or angular displacement values.
