Picking

The picking action is a powerful, simple, and intuitive tool that a user will find constant use for.

The display for the picking of elements (Wireframe, Solid, Symbols) can be described as follows:

  • The entity to select ( face, vertices, edges) is highlighted by a specific color which can be defined in the Theme.

  • The vertex/extremity is highlighted by a small dot/ball.

  • The coordinates are displayed.

  • An icon shows when the Z altitude is locked to a fixed value.

Drawing wireframe and solid geometries are easy and can be made by picking extremities of symbols or any other existing entities.

Z value can also directly be picked on the symbol or existing entity.

The picking of the Z value is also very useful in defining and adjusting machining depths. The pipette or the Bottom Z button can be used for this function.
