Align to Adjacent Edges
This option allows more accurate grading by providing a temporary coordinate system to align coordinates to the left or right edge.
To use this option:
-
From the Main menu select Tools > Sizing and Grading.
-
Select a point to adjust.
-
Select the Left or Right button. You will see that the alignment is a continuation of the selected edge. Note that a caution icon
appears as a reminder to reset the coordinate system when done.
-
Adjust the sizing values as necessary. Adjustments to the sizing values will be based on the temporary coordinate system.
-
When done, click the reset button
to return to the regular coordinates.
