Other Placement Options

Origin Placement Option

Only available during Shape placement. Selecting the plus sign moves the placement point for the selected shape from the center of the shape to the upper left vertex and then counter clockwise through each vertex on the shape. Selecting the minus sign moves the placement points in the opposite direction.

Adjust Mode Placement Option

Only available during Shape placement. Toggling on Adjust Mode changes the placement mode to a continuous placement mode. Point 1 places the shape; point 2 rotates the shape, point 3 permits moving the shape to a new location while rotated. Placement continues by moving and rotating until the placement is correct. The viewport placement is completed by holding the <Ctrl> key down while clicking with the data point.

Show Template Preview Placement Option

Opens a small window to show the layout of the sheet being constructed and the currently active viewport are displayed as follows:

  • Green — Viewports that have been placed
  • Red — Viewport currently being placed
  • Black — Viewports still to be placed

Show Placed Viewports Placement Option

Shows transient elements where the various viewports have been placed. This is useful when placing print templates with multiple viewports. Each viewport is shown in the model in which it was placed. After completing the placement of all view ports, the print model will be loaded with viewports referenced and clipped, ready for post placement functions.
