Question
How can a user start the bridge alignment from a specific point instead of the origin in CIM?
Answer
Follow the steps below to define the alignment at a specific point in the model window.
In the Base mode of CIM, go to Base Ribbon menu.
Step 1: Under the Layout dropdown menu, select the Create-Edit option
A menu panel, along with a layout sub-panel, will be displayed on the screen.
Step 2: Under the Start location sub-section, assign the Origin Point location in the X and Y direction.
For our example, we will assign the Origin X value as 250 meters and Origin Y value as 150 meters, also we will keep the length of alignment as 30 meters.
Verification: In the Horizontal Segment tab, you’ll notice the starting X and Y coordinate values are now updated as per your specified location.
Step 3: At the bottom of the menu panel, click on button to model the alignment, which starts from specified point in model.
