Model element commands

There are two commands in the Mechanism menu that you can use in the Model-Editor and in Mechanism-Editors.

Use the two commands to arrange the basic layout of your machine.

Add Mechanism - to add a new Mechanism-Editor working environment, with a Plane as the reference element.

Add Plane - to add a Plane that is offset from a different Plane.


Important:

You must use the Model-Editor to add a minimum of one Mechanism-Editor to a Plane.
