Displays options for editing a cutting surface. The ribbon displays automatically when a cutting surface is selected in the graphic view.

Select reference plane

Sets the reference plane for the cutting surface.

Select axis of rotation

Selects an axis of rotation if you want to angle the reference plane. The axis can be any linear edge, seam, or profile system that is parallel to the surface of the reference plane.

Keep Relationship

Creates an associative relationship between the cutting surface and its reference plane. When the option is checked, any subsequent modifications to the location of the reference plane will also relocate the cutting surface.

Delay Assignment

Suppresses part reassignment when you edit the cutting surface. The software marks the blocks that still need block assignment. When this option is not selected, the software automatically reassigns parts to blocks based on the block assignment, which might take a significant amount of time.

We recommend that you run the block assignment process on delayed blocks before performing further procedures. For more information, see Start the block assignment process.

  • To set the Delay Assignment preference, select Delay Assignment during Block Operations on the Planning Options dialog box: [Product Folder]\Planning\Tools\Developer\Bin\PlnRegSettings.exe.

  • You can override the preference by selecting or clearing the Delay Assignment check box on the ribbon when you split or merge blocks.

Offset

Specify the offset distance for the cutting surface about the reference plane.

 Offset direction

Toggles the direction of the cutting surface about the reference plane. This option is only available if an Offset value is entered.

Angle

Specify the angle for the cutting surface. This option is only available when you use the Select axis of rotation option.
