Positioning Elements

Top  Previous  Next

Positioning elements with the mouse is the simplest way. In larger machines this is sufficient only for rough positioning. In positioning the mouse please mind the raster.

 

Indicating the coordinates on the edit mask is more exact.

 

It is useful that the reference point can be changed.

 

You can move an element about an defined amount in entering the displacement path with a prefixed + into a positioning field:

 

Attention!

If you want to move about a negative value you have to enter e.g. '+-25'. The reason for this is that a negative number can stand for an absolute value and is interpreted in TrySim like that. Especially concerning a variable reference point this is a frequent occurrence. Only because of the + sign (that is normally not entered) TrySim recognizes that you meant a shift:

 

Moving several elements

Before you move several elements you should check if it isn't more advantageous to fix them to a common father. Then you only have to move this one. With the growth of the machine you can't avoid this way of structuring anyway.
