Handles for parts

Handles are used not only for manual positioning, but also for generic positioning with the aid of the MateMarker, Mate and MateMap parameters.

3D objects in the 3D-graphics macros offer the following default handles:

If no coordinates are given for child devices, e.g. terminal clamps, the child is positioned via its M4 handle on the M2 handle of its parent.

The G1 handle constitutes a special case. It is not specified by default in a 3D-graphics macro, however. For devices whose mounting clamps are not positioned centrally for mounting on a mounting rail, the G1 handle must be subsequently moved to a position on the left edge of the object that corresponds to the center of the clamp.
