Description |
Solid |
All faces and edges of the solid are fixed. |
Face |
The selected face is fixed and cannot be moved or rotated. |
Edge |
The selected edge is fixed. The adjacent faces can be rotated, but not moved. |
Multiple |
Allows to select multiple entities or subentities; prompts you: Select edges, faces or 3D entities - (Select a solid, or an edge or a face of a solid) Entities in set: 1 Select edges, faces or 3D entities - (Select more solids, edges or faces of solids or press Enter.) |
Block |
Allows you to choose as an argument the subentity of the coordinate system of the block; prompts you: Select block reference - (Select a block reference of which the reference coordinate system will be used as an argument.) Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |
