Selecting a coordinate system

Scroll

When plotting certain objects, you can select the coordinate systems, relative to which they will be located.

The name of the coordinate system used for plotting is displayed in the SC field in the Coordinate System section on the Parameter Panel. If a model contains several coordinate systems, the SC field will contain the list of the coordinate systems. Select the desired coordinate system from the list. By default, the current coordinate system is used for plotting.

You can create a local coordinate system as needed without interrupting the process of plotting the object. To do this, press the Construct LCS button beside the SC field. The software will switch to creating a local coordinate system. The actions in the subprocess are similar to the actions when creating the LCS using special command.

Specify LCS parameters and click the Create object button. The local coordinate system you’ve created is added to the model Design Tree, becomes the current coordinate system and is selected as the coordinate system for the new object.
