For the option:	Do the following:
Name	Enter the name of the point motion to modify.
Moving Point	Change the marker that defines the location of the motion on the parts. Learn About Point Motion.
Reference Point	Change the marker that defines the orientation of the motion on the parts.
Direction	Specify direction axis on reference point marker.
Define Using	Enter how you want to define the motion. Select Function to define using a numerical value or Subroutine to define using a user-written subroutine.
Function	If you selected Function for Define Using, enter the following in the Function (time) text box that appears: ■Numerical value (For rotational motion, specify the magnitude in radians.) ■Function expression To enter a function expression, next to the Function (time) text box, select the More button to display the Function Builder.
Parameters and ID	If you selected Subroutine for Define Using, enter the parameters to be passed to the MOTSUB user-written subroutine and its ID. Entering an ID is optional.
Routine	Specify an alternative library and name for the user subroutine MOTSUB. Learn about specifying routines with ROUTINE Argument.
Type	Set to Displacement, Velocity, or Acceleration to specify how motion magnitude is defined.
Displacement IC and Velocity IC	Enter the initial conditions for displacement or velocity. The text boxes that appear depend on how the magnitude of the motion is defined.
