Moving Adjustable Point Sets<br />

Anchored and symmetric parameters have a setting which controls how the adjustable<br />

point sets are moved. There are three settings: Move points the same distance,<br />

Scale points in one direction, and Scale points in X and Y. Each type is explained<br />

below.<br />

This is the Parameter Properties<br />

dialog box in which you select the<br />

moving option from the drop list<br />

shown to the left. This dialog box<br />

appears when you are entering a<br />

dimension parameter or when you<br />

select the command Modify ⇒<br />

Parameter Properties when a<br />

dimension parameter is selected.<br />

Moving option drop list<br />

Move Points the Same Distance: This setting moves the adjustable point set<br />

the same distance as the reference point is moved and all the points in the adjustable<br />

point set maintain their relative position. This is the default setting. An example<br />

using an anchored dimension parameter is shown below. Note that the<br />

adjustable point sets are highlighted.<br />

The anchored dimension parameter is increased by 10 mils, so each point in the<br />

adjustable point set is moved away from the anchor point by 10 mils. As shown in<br />

the illustration, the original distance from the anchor to the circled point was 40<br />

mils; when the value of the parameter is increased, the point was moved by 10 mils<br />

so that it is now 50 mils away from the anchor point.<br />
