Use this dialog to:
• | Show Velocity and Acceleration Vectors of a Point as you cycle the model. |
• | Find the exact position of a Point on the Mechanism-Plane |
• | Find the exact position of a Point on the Part-Plane, using Part Coordinates. |
• | Edit the position of a Free-Point that does not have constraints added with the Part-Editor, using Part Coordinates |
You do not need to open the Part-Editor to edit the position of a Point with this dialog
Note: With this dialog, you can edit the Point's position ONLY when it does not have any geometric constraint added to it.
Edit a Point element to open the Point Position and Vectors dialog.
There are three separators:

Velocity and Acceleration Vector check-boxes If you show Velocity or Acceleration vectors, or both:
Scope You can display the vectors relative to the:
Velocity Vector Options The Velocity vectors can show as one of::

Mechanism Coordinates [Read-Only]
The Point coordinates [X, Y, Z ] relative to the Origin of the Mechanism-Plane (and Base-Part). The X, Y, Z dimensions are Read-Only. ![]() Base-Part Origin The Origin [0,0, 0] of the Mechanism-Plane is the intersection of the small X- and Y-axes in the Base-Part. |
Note: The Point coordinates (x , y) are relative to the Part's Origin. Its Origin is the start-Point of the CAD-Line Its X-axis is in the direction from the start-Point of the CAD-Line to its end-Point. Lock and Edit Point's Position:
The Point remains free. You can edit it in the Part-Editor. |

Use x and y data-values to edit the (x , y) coordinates of the Point Notes: You can use this option is ONLY available if the Point is free of constraints and dimensions in the Part-Editor You will not be able to edit it in the Part-Editor. To use this option. |
