Displays the controls used to create a marking line.
Properties
Activates the Marking Line Properties Dialog, which you use to view and modify the properties of the marking lines that you are about to place in the model.
Part
Select the detailed plate or profile, or pin jig. You can select the part in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.
Select Reference Curve
Select the reference curves that you want to use to create the marking line. This option is only available when the Mode is set to Reference Curve.
2D Sketch
Opens the Sketch 2D environment, where you sketch the marking line. This option displays when the Mode box is set to 2D Projection.
Intersection
Select the intersection that you want to use to create the marking line. This option is only available when the Mode is set to Intersection.
Sketching Plane
Select the sketching plane for the marking line.
Depending upon the object you selected as the part, the sketching plane can be a planar face from any of the following:
-
Webs or flanges for profiles and members.
-
Plate faces, when the base or offset is planar.
-
Frames.
Add Intersecting Item
Allows you to select objects that intersect the sketching plane in the 3D environment. You see the selected objects in the Draft 2D environment when you are drawing the marking.
Add Projection Item
Allows you to select objects that do not intersect the sketching plane in the 3D environment. The objects are projected onto the sketching plane, and you see the selected objects in the Draft 2D environment when you are drawing the marking.
Constraint Table
Opens the Constraint Table dialog from which you can modify sketch curve constraint values without going back into the Sketch 2D environment. A sketch curve must have already been defined in Sketch 2D before this option is available.
Type
Displays the constraint type. You cannot edit the type.
Name
Displays the constraint name. You cannot edit the name.
Value
Defines the constraint value. Include the units of measurement when you edit the value: deg, mm, in, and so forth. You cannot edit a value if it is derived by a formula.
Value Type
Displays the value type: angle, radial, linear, and so forth. You cannot edit the value type.
Formula
Displays the formula used to derive the constraint value. You cannot edit formulas, nor can you edit values derived by formulas.
Layers
Filters which constraints display in the dialog based on the Sketch 2D layer to which they belong. By default, all constraints on all layers display.
Sketch 2D
Activates the Sketch 2D environment in which you can draw the marking.
Reference Plane
Indicates that the marking line is at the intersection of the part and a reference plane. This option displays when the Mode box is set to Intersection.
Select Boundaries
Allows you to select marking line boundaries.
Select Related Part
Allows you to select detailed plate or profile parts to receive marking line attributes.
Finish
Creates the marking line that you have defined.
Cancel
Clears the selection.
Accept
Accepts the selection.
Solve Ambiguity
If the boundaries that you selected can form the object in more than one way, then you have defined an ambiguous solution. The software prompts you to select one or more solutions.
View
Specifies the orientation for the Sketch 2D view.
Standard
The transverse view is looking forward. The longitudinal view is looking port. The plan view is looking down with forward to the right and port up.
Look at Side
The view orientation is based on the Side property so that you are looking at the side that owns the mark.
Transverse Plate
Port Hull Plate
Starboard Hull Plate
Deck Plate
Mode
Specifies whether the marking line is generated by two-dimensional projection, by intersection, or by reference curve.

Do not create a marking line that overlaps the profile's remarking line. Extend the profile's marking line to meet the contour.
In this case, the pin jig output contains a marking line that takes the place of the original profile's marking line and the extension created in the previous steps.
This extended marking line can participate in intersection point creation, or not, depending on the custom rules for the type of the marking line that you extended.
Side
Select the side on which to define the marking line. The values available depend on the part type. The software displays an arrow indicating the side of the part on which the marking is placed.

Define Plane Controls
Coincident Plane
Specifies that you want the plate system or plate part placed on the reference plane.
Offset from a Plane
Places the plate system a specified distance from the reference plane. If you choose this option, you must define the offset distance.
Angle from plane
Places the plate system or plate part at a specified angle or slope to the reference plane. If you choose this option, you must define an axis of rotation and the angle or slope.
Plane by Point and Vector
Specifies the reference plane by defining a vector perpendicular to the reference plane. A third point defines the reference plane position along the vector.
Plane by Three Points
Specifies the reference plane using three points that you specify in the model.
Plane by Vectors Normal
Specifies the reference plane as being normal to another plane that you select and having a rotation parallel to a vector that you define.
/ Offset lock
Locks the Offset value, disabling updates of the offset value by mouse moves. The Lock option is only available when you use the Offset from a Plane option.
Offset
Specify the offset distance for the plate system or plate part from the selected reference plane. You can specify the offset dynamically in graphics or by typing the distance. The Offset option is only available when you use the Offset from a Plane option.
Angle
Specify the angle at which to place the plate system or plate part relative to the reference plane. You have to define the axis of rotation using two points before you can define the angle. The Angle option is only available when you use the Angle from plane option.
Step
Specifies the angle step. The step is incremented by this value when the cursor is moved in the graphic view. The Step option is only available when you use the Angle from plane option.
Select Vector
Select or define a vector normal to the needed plane. This option is only available when you use the Plane by Point and Vector option.
Define Point
Specify the point along the vector at which to place the plate system or plate plane. This option is only available when you use the Plane by Point and Vector option.
Define Point 1
Specify the location of the first of three points that defines the plane. This option is only available when you are using the Plane by Three Points option.
Define Point 2
Specify the location of the second of three points that defines the plane. This option is only available when you are using the Plane by Three Points option.
Define Point 3
Specify the location of the third of three points that defines the plane. This option is only available when you are using the Plane by Three Points option.
Select Plane
Select the plane to which your reference plane is to be normal. This option is only available when you are using the Plane by Vectors Normal option.
Select First Point
Specify the location of the first vector point. Your reference plane is parallel to this vector. This option is only available when you are using the Plane by Vectors Normal option.
Select Second Point
Specify the location of the second vector point. Your reference plane is parallel to this vector. This option is only available when you are using the Plane by Vectors Normal option.
Display Side
Indicates whether the arrow indicating the marking side displays.
