Position the shape in the 3D area using one of the following placement modes:
- To position the shape on a surface or point, click Select Surface or Point
and then select a surface, point or edge in the 3D area.
- To position the shape by giving coordinates, click XYZ coordinate
. In the dialog box which appears enter your coordinates and then click OK.
- To position the shape anywhere in the 3D area, click Selection on Compass Plane
(Robot plane) and then select a position in the 3D area.
When you have clicked to position the shape:
- In the 3D view, for basic shapes, the shape appears.
- In the 3D view, for 3D shapes, the shape axes appear.
- In the specification tree, the Equipment Center component and associated Logical Shape representation (basic or detailed) are added.
