The x, y, z-coordinates are reteached for positions in the selected workpiece and are shown in the row for the position as x,y parameters in the workpiece table.
Move in the Bolts tab
It is possible to find some distortions in the placement of the tightening positions, especially for bigger workpieces or for images that come from photos of workpieces (rather than technical drawings). This means that the crosshair of the tool placed in the defined tightening position, in reality, is not displayed on the tightening position on the image.
The Moving the Tightening Positions procedure moves the dots that are related to the tightening positions manually. The procedure affects only the display, and not the model.
In the Configuration mode, on the right of the Workpieces page, select the needed tightening position in the Bolts list.
At the top of the Bolts list, select Move.
On the image, move the cursor on the real bolt position. Then, select that location.
Repeat the Moving the Tightening Positions procedure as many times as many tightening positions need to be aligned with the image.
