Place parts
Menu: Process Icon: No short cut
Automatically places parts
This function allows a new arrangement of the parts within the envelope. At this, different ways
of part placement can be used. Before the realigning take pace, the Define mchine tab page
Placement options will be opened to assign the according settings.
HINT: Prior to an automatic placing, an active machine ("Define machine") has to be chosen.
Box based placement will align the parts based on their axis-aligned bounding box.
Shape based placement on the other hand uses the projection shade of the part on the XY-plane.
For a description of the single entries see Placement options in Menu Options.
