Using the Mouse to Edit Fix Points
Fix points can be edited interactively using the mouse within the diagram. But they can also be input
directly in the Fix points table, please see Fix points.
Identify Fix Point
Fix points can be identified simply by moving the mouse and pausing over the Fix point in the diagram. The
mouse cursor icon will change from the normal arrow icon to a hand icon and the corresponding Fix point
will automatically be highlighted in the Fix Points table. The required "nearness" of the mouse to the Fix
point can be adjusted using → Mouse accuracy in the window Curve profile settings.
Move Fix Point
A Fix point can be moved by dragging it with the left mouse button. Make sure that the hand icon is
displayed before trying to drag the Fix point. The point's position will be automatically updated in the Fix
Points table as the point is being dragged.
If → Continuous Recalc is enabled, then the curve profile will also be automatically recalculated and the
Curve Info index card will be updated as the point is dragged.
Note that if → Snap on Grid is enabled, then the point will always snap onto the nearest interpolation grid
line and will not follow the mouse exactly.
If necessary, use the Undo toolbar button to restore the point to its previous position.
Add Fix Point
A new Fix point can be added by moving the mouse to the point where the Fix point is to be placed and
then double-clicking the left mouse button. If necessary, use the Undo toolbar button to delete the point.
Please see Fix points for more information on adding Fix points, e.g. Edit Fix points and Fix points Types.
Using CAM Popup Menus
If the right mouse button is clicked in an empty part
of the curve profile diagram, then the following
popup menu will be displayed:
Insert on Curve
A new Fix point is inserted at the specified master position but on the curve rather than where the mouse
button was clicked.
Insert Here
A new Fix point is inserted at the position where the mouse was clicked. This is the same as double-clicking
with the left mouse button. The curve profile will be recalculated.
Change Fix point Type
If the right mouse button is clicked on a Fix point,
then the following popup menu will be displayed to
change this Fix point type:
Select the type to which the identified point should
be changed: Curve, Tangent, Trapezoid, or 3'rd
order.
Delete
Delete the identified Fix point.
Snap on Grid
Snap this Fix point to the nearest interpolation grid line.
