Multi-Points

Summary

  • Constrain an object to multiple Constraint Points.

 

 

How to Run

[Point Library Mode]

  • Ribbon Menu > [Point Library] Tab > [Expression Entity] Group > Multi-Points

 

 

Explanation

Create a Multi-Points Linked Entity

This feature constrains objects to existing multiple Constraint Points.

 

 

Note 
Once the library is assigned to Base mode, all constrained objects are assigned to Base mode based on the library’s origin. After calculating the relative position of the Constraint Point based on the origin, the corresponding Constraint Point is used to calculate the relative position of the object that becomes the library's origin for placement reference.

 

[Select Target]

The library’s classification information is entered into the Point Library.

 

[Default Constraint Point]

The existing Constraint Point is used as the Default Constraint Point.

 

Note 
Geometry Vertices that are not assigned to a Constraint Point is constrained by the Default Constraint Point.

 

[Other Constraint Point]
The existing Constraint Point is used as the Other Constraint Point. The location of Other Constraint Point changes when the coordinates of the Other Constraint Point is changed based on changes in the library length. Only the Vertex of the Analysis Line can be selected as the Geometry Vertex.

 

Note 
The Point Library can be only set as either a Single Point Link or a Multi-Point Link. Once the Link is changed again after setting up, the latest Entity property is applied.

 

Note 
Created Multi-Points Linked Entities are used in the Parametric conversion of geometries in the library. Features can be converted through library Vertex and properties window of the linked Constraint Point, as well as through Parameter features.
