Insertion lines can be used for moving elements. For example, for connectors of profiles that move in a groove.

Insertion lines are created from a combination of a "normal" connection point and an absolute level.

Creating the connection point (line)

Create a new sketch on the absolute level and insert the desired connection points. Note To indicate that these points are to be treated as insertion lines, do the following: Check the box next to Insert line [Connection line] and to determine the length of the insertion line [Length of connection line].

Change parameters [Change parameter]

Insertion line symbol : Insertion lines are marked with the familiar pyramid symbol and also with a green line at the base of the pyramid.

Create absolute plane in connection to the connection point

Each connection point [Connection point] requires its own absolute level [Fixed plane]. The point of origin [Base point] indicates the starting point of an insertion line [Connection line]. Important The coordinates of Aufpunkt [Base point] must be in accordance with those of the connection point.

Absolute level [Fixed plane]

In the 3D preview, the green coordinate axis indicates the insertion line [Connection line] . The pyramid symbolwhich is used for connection points in the 3D preview, is used identically for insertion lines. Note It is always displayed in the middle position of the insertion line.

Naming convention Plane - insertion line

The name of the plane must be plane_<side_nr>.

In other words, the numerical value of a level corresponds to the numerical value of the corresponding connection point (insertion line):

plane_1 <-> side_1, plane_5a <-> side_5a, etc.

The sum of the numerical values of the opposite connection points must be the same in each case. (Here in the example: 1+6, 2+5, the sum is 7 in each case).
