Object-Group (Line) – Dynamic Insert

Workflow

In the initial situation the cursor moves a single symbol.
  1. Click . The context menu appears.
  2. Select: Place Symmetrical on a Line Dynamic Insert
    The dialog appears: Object-Group (Line)
  3. Check the settings.
  4. Click OK. The object group appears as a dynamic object at the cursor.

Settings, functions and parameters

Calculate type

Definition of variables and fixed parameters for the configuration of the group.

Setting Number Distance (dX) Effect
Manual (free placement)

The row of objects is fully configurable.
Distance from objects

The larger the number of objects, the longer the line. The distance between the objects remain the same.
Objects from distance.

The greater the distance, the longer the line. The number of objects remains unchanged.

Number of objects

Number of objects. The release depends on the selected setting:

Calculate type

  • Manual (free placement)
  • Distance from objects
  • Objects from distance.

Length of the line. The value is obtained from the values:

Number

Start point (X)

Distance (dX)

Placement

Configuration for Distance (dX).

Setting Effect

Distance (dX) = distance between the outside edges of adjacent objects.

Distance (dX) = distance between the insertion points of adjacent objects.

Note

The parameter is available only for objects with variable size.

Setting Effect
Start and end point of the defined line are visible: x--x.
Start and end point of the defined line are not visible.

Note

The parameter is only available when installing luminaries with variable size. In a subsequent change in the group, the parameter is not visible.

Setting Effect

The luminaries are arranged continuously without spacing.

Between the luminaries, the distance inserted applies.
Setting Effect

Distance between the starting point of the line and the insertion point of the first object. You can also enter a negative value and use different units of lengths.

Distance between adjacent objects. Depending on the status in Distance between, the value describes the distance between the insertion points or the outer edges.

Alignment

Setting Effect
Free

Start point (X) is enabled for input.
Center

Start point (X) is calculated.
