To Create Additional Insertion Points

You can add more insertion points to a cell in addition to the main insertion point. The additional insertion points can be defined during cell creation later during an editing action. Afterwards, when the cell is inserted, you can jump from one insertion point to the other by mouse click and select the desired point.
  1. Open the cell DGN by right clicking the cell in the Selection dialog, and selecting Edit cell from the context menu.
  2. Right click on the cell again (in the Selection dialog), and select Add Insertion Points from the context menu.

    The model is activated. You are prompted to "Pick another insertion Point/Reset to Cancel".

  3. Pick as many points as needed. Reset (right mouse click) or press <Esc> to complete.

    The additional insertion points are identified with auxiliary graphical objects in the model. These are deleted automatically after insertion. You can Copy, Move or Delete existing insertion points by means of the standard manipulation tools.

When you define additional insertion points for the cell, you can select them one after the other. After insertion of the cell by means of its main insertion point, the cell is moved to the next insertion point by pressing the left mouse button. You may follow the result directly on the screen.

When reaching the last insertion point, the cell is again moved to the main insertion point. With the next mouse click and you can start from the beginning.
