Translations:Engine Block Tutorial/38/en

Adding drafting elements with the mouse is fast and easy, but it is not very precise. For the actual bolt pattern we use the fact that moving the mouse will update the numbers in the text boxes just above the 3D view so we can see roughly the coordinates of where we want to place things. Once we have these rough coordinates we can type in the real values we want for precise positioning. Reset to the top view of the engine, click the Add circle button, and move your mouse around the top left corner of the engine block taking not of a good location for the head bolt. It looks like X=10, Y=30, would be a good place for the circle (note the Z coordinate should be grayed out, if it is not you need to set the plane properly like in the previous section, pressing escape will cancel drawing the circle).
