Specifies the graphic layout for the pin jig that you are editing.

Select

Selects pins to display their attributes. The type of object that you can select is determined by the value in the Object Type box.

View Type

Specifies the view orientation for the pin jig.

Rotate View

Rotates the view 90 degrees in the clockwise direction.

Move

Moves the entire jig set relative to the pin jig layout.

Move From

Defines the starting point for the move.

Move To

Defines the ending point for the move.

Horizontal Offset

Specifies a horizontal offset value.

Vertical Offset

Specifies a vertical offset value.

Move

Moves the jig set using the parameters that you have specified.

Rotate

Rotates the entire jig set about the specified point.

Rotation Method

Specifies the method for rotating the PinJig. The available options are:

Angle

Applies rotation by an angle about a point. View type decides the axis of rotation.

Pin Heights

Applies rotation about a point such that the reference pin gets the specified height after rotation. This option is available only for the Top Side view type.

Intersection Point Heights

Applies rotation about a point such that the reference intersection point gets the specified height after rotation. This option is available only for the Top Side view type.

Orientation by 3 Angles

Displays properties to define the pin jig's orientation. This option is available only for the Top Side view type. The following properties display:

X-Rotation

Specifies the amount of counter-clockwise rotation about the global X-axis. This property is available only when you are modifying an existing pin jig. The software processes this angle first when you click Orient.

Y-Rotation

Specifies the amount of counter-clockwise rotation about the global Y-axis. This property is available only when you are modifying an existing pin jig. When you click Orient, the software processes this angle after processing the X-Rotation.

Z-Rotation

Specifies the amount of counter-clockwise rotation about the global Z-axis. This property is available only when you are modifying an existing pin jig. When you click Orient, the software processes this angle last, after processing the X-Rotation and Y-Rotation.

Orient

Updates the pin jig orientation based on the values in the three rotation boxes.

The relative orientation between the axes does not change during the operation.

Reference Point

Specifies the reference pin whose height is updated on rotation. This option is only available if the Rotation Method is set to Pin Heights.

Reference Point

Specifies the reference intersection point whose height is updated on rotation. This option is only available if the Rotation Method is set to Intersection Point Heights.

Reference Intersection Point

Specify the intersection point to use as the reference point in the girth length computation for all the intersection points in the pin jig. This point has no relationship with the rotate or move commands.

Add Pin

Add pins one at a time to the jig set. These pins are added at horizontal and vertical offset from an existing pin.

Add Pins

Add a row of pins to the jig set. These pins are added as offset from the row of an existing pin.

Add

Adds the pin to the jig set using the parameters that you have specified.

Direction

Select a second pin to specify the direction from the selected pin in which you want to place the row or column of pins.

Offset

Specify a distance from the selected pin for the row of pins.

Delete Pin

Deletes a manually added pin.

Object Type

Determines which objects are selectable.

Pin Alignment

Specifies the alignment of the pins on the jig floor. This option is available when Base Plane is selected during placement of a new pin jig. It is also available when Jig Setup is selected during creation and modification of an existing pin jig. The available options are:

Default

Pins are aligned based on the tightest box bounding the supported plates.

Longest Edge

Pins are aligned based on the longest contour. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the longest contour.

Global

Pins are aligned based on the global coordinate system. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the global axes.

Centerline

Pins are aligned based on the centerline. A row of pins is placed on the centerline. This option is only available when the selected plates cross the centerline of the hull.

Left Contour

Pins are aligned based on the left contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the left contour.

Bottom Contour

Pins are aligned based on the bottom contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the bottom contour.

Right Contour

Pins are aligned based on the right contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the right contour.

Top Contour

Pins are aligned based on the top contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the top contour.

Pins on Center Line

  • Pins are aligned based on the centerline of the ship. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the centerline. This option is available only when the supported pin jig plates pass over the centerline of the ship.

Display Text

Indicates that the pin height text displays. The available options are:

PinHeight_ICON Pin heights

Displays the heights of all the pins in the view.

IntersectionPointHeight_ICON Intersection point heights

Displays the heights of all the intersection points in the view.

RemarkingGirthLengths_ICON Remarking girth lengths

Displays the lengths of all the remarking girths in the view.

Attribute Viewer

Displays information about the selected object. The information displayed depends upon the type of the selected object.

Production Option

Specifies the production options to be displayed in the attribute viewer. The available options are:

Margin and Shrinkage

Considers both margin and shrinkage in the reporting data.

Margin

Considers only margins in the reporting data.

Shrinkage

Considers only shrinkage in the reporting data.

Select Pivot Point

Specifies the point about which to rotate the pin jig. This point can be any point in the setup view. If the Rotation Method box is set to Angle, this point defaults to the (H0, V0) pin. There is no default for the other rotation methods.

Rotate

Rotates the jig set around the specified pin, using the parameters that you have specified.

Angle

Specify the rotation angle.

Reference Height

Specify the height of the reference object after rotation.

Pin

Name

The pin name in row, column format.

Row

The row to which the pin belongs.

Column

The column to which the pin belongs.

Height

For a pin, this is the height of the pin. For an intersection point, this is the height of the intersection point from the floor.

Added

Indicates whether or not the pin was manually added.

Corner

Indicates whether or not the pin is a corner pin.

Horizontal Marking Distance

Indicates the horizontal distance between the pin and the nearest remarking line.

Vertical Marking Distance

Indicates the vertical distance between the pin and the nearest remarking line.

Indicates the nearest corner point from the selected pin.

Horizontal Distance to Nearest Corner Point

Indicates the horizontal distance between the pin and the nearest corner point.

The row to which the minimum pin belongs.

Horizontal Remarking Line

The name of the horizontal remarking line through which the point passes.

Vertical Remarking Line

The name of the vertical remarking line through which the point passes

If there are multiple remarking lines that overlap one another, the software chooses the longest remarking line to participate in creating intersection points with other crisscrossing remarking lines. If the overlapping remarking lines are identical, the software chooses based on the priority set by the pin jig rules. By default, this order is contour lines, then frames, and then seams.
