PRIMER 22.1

The Main Positioning Panel

Assuming that these checks pass you then drop into the positioning panel. For dummies this operates in one of three modes:

Rotate angles	In this mode explicit rotation of assemblies about their parent connection node takes place.
Drag assembly	In this mode "free" dragging of the dummy takes place, combining translation and rotation.
Move points	In this mode points can be defined and edited, and "free" movement performed by giving updated coordinates for them.

A dummy is positioned by any combination of these modes, and when it is satisfactory the user must Accept it to make the geometrical changes permanent, or Reject it to abandon positioning and restore the original geometry.

Further positioning commands below describes these and other options in more detail.
