When you select one of the row in the table, the label of the corresponding node is expanded
to display the Point information.
You can also double-click the values in the X,
Y, Z and Bend radius
columns to edit them. The X, Y and
Z values can be edited if the Point Type is
Free only.
To delete one node or more, select the corresponding rows, right-click and select
Delete Point from the context menu.
Under Coordinates Options, you can select one of the following:
- Global Coordinates to
display the node values according to the main assembly root
- Local Coordinates to
display the node values according to the route context
- Contextual Coordinates:
to display the node values according to the coordinates of a selected 3D point. To do so,
select Contextual Coordinates. Click Select
Context and select a 3D point or an axis system in the work area. If
you select a 3D point, the origin of the global axis is moved to this point. If you select
an axis system, the coordinates of the node are computed in this axis system. The
contextual coordinates are kept in CATSettings.
- Local Node Coordinates
to display the node values according to the first node of the route and the two first
segments. The first segment represents the X direction. The Z direction is perpendicular
to the plane formed by the first and the second segments, and Y direction is perpendicular
to X and Z direction.
Under Edit route, you can click Manage point in
3D to edit the node in the work area. The 3D
manipulator is snapped to the node.
