Anchor

The adjustability of the fastening point is not essential when first built and has no influence on the simulation.

If you want to change the size of an element it can be useful to determine for the children on which point they are fixed exactly.

For example, if a light barrier is fixed to the right end of a conveyor (not to the position corner) it is cumbersome if you have to carry along the light barrier after a resizing of the conveyor.

For each of the directions in space three values can be defined:

X : left (standard), middle, right

Y : front (standard) middle, behind

Z : bottom (standard) middle, top

In the main menu Extras|Quick anchor you can watch the fastening point promptly. Changes have to be confirmed with the button '!'.
