Summary of Location Dependency Options

 
Option name:
Option role:
Delta location from coordinate
Used when a fixed value of x, y, and z in the global coordinate system can be used to position the construction frame a fixed distance from a known position.
Centered between coordinates
Places the construction frame at the midpoint formed by a number of points. You can define up to four points.
Located along an axis
Places a new construction frame at a distance x, away from an existing construction frame, along any of the three orthogonal axes defined by the existing construction frame.
Located on a line
Places the construction frame at a position along an axis that two points define. You can set a percentage between 0 and 150%, where 0% is at the first point location, and 150% is beyond both points 1 and 2, but still on the axis they define.
Location input communicator
Places the construction frame at a point that an input communicator defines.
Located at flexible body node
Places the construction frame at a node ID as defined during the creation of the flexible body.
