Purpose of the function

The dialog manages the settings for position, location and scale of the object.

Settings, functions and parameters

Rotation

Each object has its own coordinate system with the axes X, Y and Z by which it can be rotated. The zero point (origin) of these object-bound coordinate systems coincides with the insertion point of the object. Thus, the insertion point of the object is also the reference point for its rotation.

Around Z-axis
Around X-axis
Around Y-axis

The settings corresponds with Around Z-axis and applies to 2D objects.

Global Scaling

You can assign an object different scaling factors for the use in two- and three-dimensional view.

Setting Effect

Main in 2D

This setting applies when the three-dimensional view is not active. The object is enlarged or reduced uniformly in the X and Y directions.

Main in 3D

This setting applies when the three-dimensional view is active. The object is enlarged or reduced uniformly in the X, Y and Z directions.

Individual Scaling

You can stretch or compress an object in one direction.

Setting Effect

Factor X-Dir.

The object is enlarged or reduced in the X direction.
Factor Y-Dir.

The object is enlarged or reduced in the Y direction.
Factor Z-Dir.

The object is enlarged or reduced in the Z direction.

Position

The position of the object in the model as absolute coordinates X/Y/Z. The values refer to the insertion point of the object.

Setting Effect

Delete

The object cannot be deleted directly. When trying to delete, a security question pops up.

Move Area

The object ignores the operation and does not change its position.

Delete

The object is deleted immediately and without security question.

Move Area

The object performs the operation. It changes its position.
