Nodes
Set System Options”, “Fragments” tab). In this case, nodes will be created upon assembling the
fragment based on all named nodes in the fragment.
Besides, nodes from fragment can be created automatically when creating dimensions and other
elements in the object snapping mode, if the flag “Create Nodes on Fragment Nodes” is set on the
“Snap” tab of the command “SO: Set System Options”.
Nodes from fragment can be created in the command “N: Construct Node”. With the object snapping
mode engaged and the flag “Create Nodes on Fragment Nodes” set (the tab “Snap” of the command “SO:
Set System Options”), a node from fragment is created as follows. Move the cursor over an end of a
fragment graphic line. A node will highlight at the end of the line, with a tooltip saying “Fragment Node”.
Clicking creates a node from fragment.
With the object snapping mode off, first select a fragment via either of the options, or . The selected
fragment will be highlighted. To create a node, simply specify the desired node on the fragment by selecting
it in the list of the fragment nodes.
The named nodes will be highlighted if exist in the fragment and the following option is set,
Show Fragment Node Names
After that, nodes from fragment can be created by pointing the cursor to the
desired nodes among the highlighted ones and clicking .
The nodes from fragment are displayed as crossed diamonds.
The option highlights and makes available for selection all nodes that exist in the fragment.
Show all Fragment Nodes
To assign a name to a node of a fragment drawing, use the following option under the command “ЕN: Edit
Node”:
Create Name for selected Element
Any name is allowed. The node now becomes named and can later be “exposed” upon assembling this
drawing elsewhere.
Once the nodes from fragment are created, make the dimension via the command “D: Create
Dimension”:
