Creating a New Alignment Item

 

Alignment documents provide the flexibility to create and store many part alignments within a single alignment document. This allows you to group reusable alignments relevant to a current project, to standardize the type of alignments used for a type of project or digitizer, or for any other reason that makes sense for your specific application. From the alignment document pop-up menu you can create a new instance of any type of alignment item.

To Create a New Alignment Item

  1. Access Alignment Manager

  2. Right click on at the top of the alignment document tree.

The alignment document options pop-up menu appears.

  1. Select New.

The new item pop-up menu appears.

  1. Select the type of alignment item you wish to create.

The item-specific type pop-menu appears.

  1. Select the specific type of alignment item you wish to create.

A new instance of the selected item type is created with a default name.

    Note: The new alignment item is created at the bottom of the list of like items. Alignment items are grouped by type within the alignment tree in the order of Origins, Datums, and Leap Sets.
