Placement Type |
Feature Geometry Type Created and Operation |
---|---|
Place Linear |
Line-string. Data points define vertices and a Reset finishes the placement. |
Place Standard Compcurve |
Complex-chain. This placement type also provides options to place linear and arc segments when constructing the chain. There is an additional option that aids in creating geometry parallel to existing geometry. |
Place Enhanced Compcurve |
Complex-chain. This placement type provides all the functionality described for Place Standard Compcurve and provides additional dialog items to define the radius and length of arc components. |
Place Arc |
Arc. Data points define the three edge points for the arc. |
Place Curve |
Curve-string. Data points define vertices and a Reset finishes the placement. |
Place Bspline |
Open B-Spline curve. Data points define vertices and a Reset finishes the placement. |
Place Polygon |
Shape. Data points define vertices and a Reset finishes the placement. |
Place Polygon with offset |
Provides a parallel placement option on the tool settings. The first point identifies the feature to be used as a guide; the second identifies the parallel distance. The next two points identify the start and end of the parallel section. |
Place Block |
Shape. A two point block is placed. |
Place Closed Bspline |
Closed bspline. Data points define vertices of a closed bspline curve. |
Place Block with Params |
Shape. A two point block is placed with options to keyin the height and width |
Place Rotated Block |
Shape. A block is placed that can be rotated around the initial point |
Place Rotated Block with Params |
Shape. A block is placed that can be rotated around the initial point. Key-ins are available to specify the height and width |
Place Ellipse |
Circle. A circular ellipse is placed by three points on the edge. |
Place Text |
Text Node. The text is placed at the angle defined in the feature's symbology definition. |
Place Text And Rotate |
Text Node. This placement type will also display a Spin toggle in the Tool Setting dialog to allow the element to be rotated once the first data point is input to define the location. |
Place Cell Free |
Cell. The cell is placed at the angle defined in the feature's symbology definition. |
Place Cell And Rotate |
Cell. This placement type will also display a Spin toggle in the Tool Setting dialog to allow the element to be rotated once the first data is input to define the location. |
Place Cell Skewed |
Cell. Once the cell is placed you can define the scale for the cell interactively, a reset will leave the cell at the size placed. |
Place Cell Skewed And Rotate |
Cell. This is the same as Place Cell Skewed but with the addition of a Spin toggle item in the Tool Settings. If the Spin toggle is set, you can rotate the cell after the interactive scaling has been accepted. |
Place Cell On |
Cell. This placement type requires you to define what type of feature the cell can be placed on. |
Place Equipment |
A line with a cell at the end of it. This is common placement type in the utility world for placing a piece of equipment that requires a connection back to the main distribution feature. |
Place Equipment On |
A line with a cell at the end of it. Places the same as Place Equipment except that the first point of the line is projected to the user specified linear feature. |
Place Equipment And Rotate |
A line with a cell at the end of it. Places the same as Place Equipment and additionally provides a Spin toggle in the Tool Setting to allow the line and cell to be rotated about the start of the line. |
Place Equipment On And Rotate |
A line with a cell at the end of it. Places the same as Place Equipment On but provides a Spin toggle in the Tool Setting to allow the line and cell to be rotated about the start of the line. |
