Arch Axis/ru

Описание
The Axis tool allows you to places a series of axes in the current document. The distance and the angle between axes is customizable, as well as the numbering style. The axes serve mainly as references to snap objects onto, but can also be used together with Axes Systems, and can also be referenced by other Arch objects to create parametric arrays, for example of beams or columns.



The image above shows two different axis objects positioned perpendicularly to each other

Использование

 * 1) Press the  button, or press  then  keys
 * 2) Move/rotate the axes system to the desired position
 * 3) Enter edit mode by double-clicking the axes system in the tree view to adjust its settings like number of axes, distances and angles between axes.

Options

 * Each axis in the series has its own distance and angle in relation to the previous axis. This allows to do very complex systems such as non-orthogonal systems, polar systems or any kind of non-uniform system
 * Double-clicking the axis in the tree view allows to edit the distances, angles and labels of each axis
 * Axes length, size of the bubbles and numbering styles are customizable directly via the axes system's properties
 * Each axis can also display a label, also editable via the task panel dialog

Properties

 * : The length of the axes
 * : The size of the axis bubbles
 * : How the axes are numbered: 1,2,3, A,B,C, etc...
 * : Where the bubble is placed on the axis: At start point, endpoint, both or none.
 * : A font to draw the bubble number and/or labels
 * : The size of the label text only (bubble text is controlled by the bubble size)
 * : Turns the display of the label texts on/off

Scripting
The Axis tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:


 * makes an axes series based on the given number of axes and interval distance
