Use the Tools > Point Along command to help you place an object at a specific location along a path. A path can be along a pipe, duct, cableway, or the intersection line between two surfaces. You can measure:
-
Along object, which is the distance along an element, such as along the surface of a pipe
-
Orthogonal, which is the distance in the E-, N-, or EL-axis (X-, Y-, or Z-axis) direction from the reference point of the active coordinate system last defined by PinPoint.
Select a reference point from which to start measuring. As you move your pointer, the Distance box on the Point Along ribbon indicates the exact distance from the reference point to the location of your pointer. Key in a distance in the Distance box to lock your pointer that far from the reference point.
