Sets options for defining a point at a position along a path.
Reference
Identifies the path along which to measure. A path can be along a pipe, duct, cableway, seam, or the intersection line between two surfaces.
Reference Point
Identifies a point from which to measure. This point should be located on the reference element. You can use SmartSketch relationship indicators to assist you when setting the reference point. To turn on the SmartSketch relationship indicators, use the SmartSketch tab on the Tools > Options dialog box.
Direction
Identifies the direction in which to measure. You can select Along object, which measures along a selected element, or you can select the E, N, EL or X, Y, Z-direction to measure orthogonally.
Step
Specifies a step distance from a reference point. The step distance is the incremental distance at which the software finds points. For example, if you want to insert valves at five-foot increments along a pipe, you can use this feature. This value must be a positive number. This option is not available if you type a value in the Distance box.
Distance
Specifies the distance that you want to measure from the reference point in the specified direction. Typing a value in this box is optional. If you type a value, it must be greater than zero. If you do not type a value, the distance from the Reference Point to your pointer displays.
