Handles for enclosures

The handles that are used for enclosures differ from those of the parts:

Enclosures that have not yet been positioned have the following handles:C1, C2, C3 and C4.

Enclosures that have been positioned have the following handles:CUB1, CUB2, CUB3 and CUB4.

A map with the MateMap parameter with the following syntax is used for placement:

=Map{Pair{'src','<Mate>'},Pair{'dest','<Mate'},Pair{'dx',<value>},Pair{'dy',<value>},Pair{'dz',<value>},Pair{'angle',<value>}}

For the placement shown in the above diagram, this sample formula is used:

=Map{Pair{'src','C4'},Pair{'dest','CUB3'},Pair{'dx',0},Pair{'dy',0},Pair{'dz',0},Pair{'angle',90}}

Not all combinations of target and start handles are permitted, because this could lead to collisions. For the same reason, not all coordinate values are valid.

In order to place several enclosures that are located in the same level of the discipline structure in the same layout space we recommend using a formula with the following form for MateMap:

=if droot.dos('Enclosure').indexOf(this)= 0
	then
	null
	else
	Map { Pair {'src', 'C4'}, Pair {'dest', 'CUB3'} ,Pair {'dx', 0}, Pair {'dy', 0}, Pair{'angle', 0} }
endif
