Modifying Reference Point Properties

Reference points do not have type properties, but you can modify many instance properties for reference
points, such as constraints, graphics, and dimension data. The specific parameters available depend on
whether the selected points are free, driving, or hosted.
1 Select the point.
2 Click Modify Reference Points tab
3 In the Instance Properties dialog, edit reference point instance parameters.
4 Click OK.
The following table lists the reference point instance properties.

Description
For driving points only, the plane hosting
the point.
Specifies when the point's reference planes
are visible: Always, When Selected, or
Never.
Click Edit to display the Visibility/Graphics
Overrides dialog for the reference point.
See Visibility and Graphic Display in Project
Views on page 198.
For hosted and driving reference points,
specifies whether only the reference plane
perpendicular to the geometry of the host
will be visible.
When selected, the reference point will be
visible when the mass is loaded into a
project. It is also important to note that
reference points must not be hidden by
either Category or Visibility/Graphics
Override settings if they are to be viewed
in the project.
When selected, the reference point is a
driving point that affects geometry. When
cleared, this parameter is read-only, and
the reference point becomes free or hos-
ted.
When selected, the reference point is a
hosted point that moves along its hosted
