Sliding a Part along the Network

Slide Part lets you slide a part with two ports connected and aligned in the opposite direction along a network.

  1. In the Slide Part panel, select the context selection of your choice:
    • Select point, line, or plane: lets you align the port of the part to:
      • a point: the selected point is projected on the center line of the route and the part is moved to this point.
      • a line: the shortest distance is retrieved between the selected line and the center line of the route. The part is moved to the point on the route where the distance is the shortest to the selected line.
      • a plane: the intersection point between the selected plane and the center line of the route is retrieved and the part is moved to that intersection.
    • Select port of a part: lets you align the port of the part to the port of your choice.
  2. Click the part to move and drag it along the network.
    A temporary representation of the part is created and the ruler appears to show the distance of the part from the previous or the next part or node.
  3. Click Commit to validate the new position of the part.
    Note: You can slide only parts with two ports connected and aligned in the opposite direction.
