Figure 2.2 Marker Screen Icons

You create markers by specifying their location and orientation. You can align the orientation of the marker with the global coordinate system, the current view coordinate system, or a coordinate system that you define. When you define a coordinate system, you specify one or two of its axes and ADAMS/View calculates the other axes accordingly.

ADAMS/View assigns the marker a default name. The default name is MARKER followed by a number representing the marker (for example, MARKER_1, MARKER_2, and so on).

To create a marker:

1) From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the Marker tool .

2) In the settings container, specify the following:

  • Whether you want the marker added to ground or to another part in your model.

  • How you want to orient the marker. From the Orientation option menu, select an orientation method.

3) If you selected to add the marker to a part, select the part to which you want to add the marker.

4) Place the cursor where you want the marker to be located and click.

5) If you selected to orient the marker to anything other than the global or view coordinate system, select the directions along which you want to align the marker’s axes. Do this for each axis that you selected to specify.

3. Creating Lines and Polylines

You can create both single- and multi-line segments (polylines). In addition, you can create open or closed polylines (polygons).

To draw a single line:

1) From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the Polyline tool .

2) In the settings container, do the following:

  • Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground.

  • Set the type of line to be drawn to One Line.

  • If desired, set the length and angle of the line.

3) Position the cursor where you want the line to begin and click.

4) Move the cursor in the direction you want to draw the line.

5) When the line is the desired length and orientation, click again to end the line.

To draw an open or closed polyline:

1) From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the Polyline tool .

2) In the settings container, do the following:

  • Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground.

  • Set the type of line to be drawn to Polyline.

  • If desired, set the length of the line segments.

  • Select whether you want a closed polyline (polygon) by selecting Closed.

3) Position the cursor where you want the polyline to begin and click.

4) To create the first line segment, drag the cursor and click to select its endpoint.

5) To add line segments to the polyline, continue dragging the cursor and clicking.

6) To stop drawing and create the open or closed polyline, right-click. If you selected to create a closed polyline, ADAMS/View automatically draws a line segment between the last and first points to close the polyline. Note that clicking the right mouse button does not create another point.
