Automatic Align

Use this function to align two instances by letting you choose a drawing instance to align to and the instance you want to align. The instance you want to align uses the align to instance as a reference. Figuring out the common axis between them aligns the two. To use this option, the scale of the drawing instances you want to align must be identical. You cannot align two instances with different drawing scales.

NOTE: When the alignment of a drawing instance that contains tagged entities is modified, these entities will be realigned along with the instance.

Using the Function:

1. Select Automatic from the Instance Position submenu.

2. Select the drawing instance to align to.

3. Select the instance you intend to align. The program figures out the instances’ common axis and positions the drawing instance you chose to align in a tracking path with the align to instance. If the program cannot align the axes of the two instances, it automatically rotates the second instance so that it will align correctly.

4. Indicate a new alignment position along the tracking path, using the Universal Position Menu. The instance is aligned according to the position you have selected on the align to instance.
