Crosshairs (3-D)

3-D Standard > Tools > Crosshairs, Bore/C-edge

Use the Crosshairs, Bore/C-edge function to create crosshairs by means of

specifying one or several ngabe einer bzw. mehrerer Berandungskanten (je nach Bohrungs-/Kantenzugtyp) und

specifying the start point of the crosshairs (for the size). Press the middle mouse button to apply the point suggested by HiCAD, e.g. the 1st quad point of the circle.

(1) Selected boundary edge, (2) Quad point selected via MMB

Clicking

opens a menu with further functions for the creation and deletion of crosshairs and surface axes for various 3-D elements.

Crosshairs, Slot

Creates the crosshairs by selecting 2 edges of the slot.

(1) 1st boundary edge, (2) 2nd boundary edge

Crosshairs, Rectangle

Creates the crosshairs by selecting 2 edges of the rectangle.

(1) 1st boundary edge, (2) 2nd boundary edge

Crosshairs, Hole pattern

Creates the crosshairs by

Specifying the centre point of the hole pattern.
Selecting 2 neighbouring bore circles.

(1) Centre point, (2) Bore circle, (3) Neighbouring bore circle

Crosshairs, Sphere/Torus

Create the crosshairs as follows:

Specify the sphere/torus surface by selecting 2 edges.
Specify the start point of the crosshairs. Alternatively, you can apply the point on the sphere or the torus suggested by HiCAD by pressing the middle mouse button.
For spheres you need to specify another point.

(1) 1st edge, (2) 2nd edge, (3) Point on torus via MMB

Axis, individual

Axis, Cylinder surface

Creates an axis by selecting a surface via two edges.

(1) 1st edge, (2) 2nd edge

Axis, Via 2 points

Creates an axis by specifying 2 points.

Select the body in the drawing, or select the active body via right-click.
Then, specify the start point and the end point of the axis.

(1) Selected part, (2) Start point, (3) End point

Delete axis

Individual

Deletes individual axes. Select the desired axes.

Group

Deletes a crosshairs group. Select one of the axes.

For example, if you have selected one axis of the crosshairs of a sphere, all axes will be deleted.

All in active part

Deletes all axes/crosshairs of the active part.

Please note:

The Axis,Cylinder surface function creates the surface axis for a cylinder surface or for the polyhedral facet of a polyhedronized circular hole. It applies similarly to cones, toruses and spheres. The symmetry axes are created for the torus and cone and, for the torus, additionally also the centre circle (large radius).

For crosshairs and axes, a feature log entry called Crosshairs will be created. This entry will be assigned to the part to which the surface selected with the corresponding function belongs.

Each operation has its own UNDO step.
