Tab Placement (accessory placement)

In this tab you define the specifications for placement of the accessories in the layout space under consideration of a specific base point.

An accessory placement defined in this way can be assigned in the parts management when assigning the accessories or when creating accessory lists. The specifications predefined here make it easier for you to insert the accessories during the 3D mounting layout.

Base point:

Base points are fixed defined mounting points in a layout space. A distinction is made between automatically generated base points, such as those available for the "Enclosure" product group, "Component" and "Body" product subgroups, and user-defined base points that are placed by the user in a macro manually and that possess predefined properties.
