Editing and Keeping a Point

This task shows you how to edit the position of a point and keep a record of its position.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.

  1. Move the pointer to a point and right-click to display the contextual menu.



  2. Select Edit.

    The Tuner dialog box is displayed, letting you specify the exact position of the point in space and define a step value by which a control point/mesh line moves (Step field). Once the value has been defined in the Tuner dialog box, press and hold the Shift key then click one of the manipulator's arrow to move the selected point by the defined step value.

    Selecting the Relative check box enables you to display the relative mode and specify the relative position of the point depending on its origin as shown in the model. This option is not available for all functionality.

  3. Select Keep this point to create a point at this position.

    A Point.xxx appears in the specification tree. You can create a Point.xxx either on each control point or on the selected control points.

    • This contextual menu is available each time manipulators are displayed in the geometry.
