Position
Use the Position dimension to specify the coordinates for a vertex.
Add a Position dimension as follows:
1
Click the Position () toolbar button.
2
Select a vertex.
3
Click somewhere on the canvas to place the position symbol.
4
In the Settings window for Position edit the coordinates in the x and y text fields.
5
Click Build Selected to rebuild the geometry with the new coordinates for the vertex.
The Settings window for Position contains the following sections:
•
Vertex Selection: Change the selected vertex.
•
Coordinates:
-
Edit the coordinate expressions.
-
Toggle the Constrain buttons to switch between using the dimensions as constraining dimensions (, default) or measuring dimensions (). The value of a measuring dimension is not imposed as a requirement to the drawing. Instead it is updated according to other dimensions and constraints in the geometry sequence. For more information see Measuring Dimensions.
-
Select the Create measuring parameters checkbox to generate a parameter for the dimensions. Edit the names displayed in the x parameter name and y parameter name text fields. When in sketch visualization mode, the parameter names are displayed in the dimension’s label in the Graphics window. Use dimension parameters in expressions in geometry and other features as described in Dimension Parameters.
