X-Ray Mode

X-Ray mode displays the underlying geometric skeleton of a selected form. In this mode, surfaces become
transparent, allowing you to more directly interact with the individual elements that comprise the form.
This mode is useful when you need to understand how a form is constructed, or when you need to select a
specific part of the form element for manipulation.
X-Ray mode is available for only one form at a time in all model views. For example, if several, tiled views
are displayed and you use X-Ray mode for a form in one view, the other views display X-Ray mode as well.
Likewise, switching X-Ray mode off in one view switches it off in all others.
NOTE X-Ray mode does not persist between sessions.

Description
geometry. When cleared, this parameter
is read-only and the reference point is free.
A ratio value (0 to 1) of the location of the
reference point along a line, curve, or sur-
face edge. This applies only to hosted ref-
erence points.
The location of the reference point along
the U grid. The parameter is a distance in
project units from the center of the surface.
This applies only to reference points hosted
on a surface.
The location of the reference point along
the V grid. The parameter is a distance in
project units of the surface. This applies
only to reference points hosted on a sur-
face.
The offset distance from the reference
plane of the reference point. This applies
only to driving and free reference points.
User-defined name for the point. The name
will appear in a tooltip when the point is
highlighted by the cursor.
