The Placement Modes context toolbar lets you select the placement mode:
Surface or PointThis section describes how to use the Surface or Point shape placement mode to position shapes. Surface or Point is the default shape placement mode. As you move the cursor in the work area, the square and cross indicates the plane and current position on the plane. Click to select a location.
Note:
No constraints are defined between the selected point and the component.
Robot PlaneThis section describes how to use the Robot Plane shape placement mode to position shapes. To define the plane on which you want to place shapes, drag the Robot and drop it into a location, for example the face of an existing shape. The privileged Robot plane aligns itself with the selected plane. As you move the cursor in the work area, the coordinates and cross lines indicate the current robot plane and coordinates. Click to select a location.
Note:
You can use snap capabilities when placing shapes on the XY plane.
XYZ CoordinatesThis section describes the options in the Define coordinates dialog box which you can use to position a 3D shape.
