Creating an Offset Object CS

To create an Offset Object coordinate system (CS):

1. Select the working CS.

2. Select the object, and click Modeler>Coordinate System>Create>Object>Offset.

• You can select any snap point on object based on current snapping mode to select origin of the CS. When you hover the mouse over a valid point, a coordinate system preview is shown.

• The point must be on selected object.

• X axis is taken as {1,0,0} and Y Axis as {0,1,0} to create an Object CS. The axis coordinates can be later edited through the Properties dialog.

• When you select the point, validation displays an appropriate message. Points where CS preview is available are always valid.
