Overrides the direction of the support symbol shown in Isogen drawings. You can use the Support Direction property to control the support direction that is returned to the Isogen drawings. Support Direction is a codelist property. The following values are supported:

+X

-X

Specifies the global west direction.

+Y

Specifies the global north direction.

-Y

Specifies the global south direction.

+Z

Specifies the global up direction.

  • By default, the software calculates the support direction value after placing the support based on the configuration of the supported object, supporting object, and support position. The calculated value is one of the code list values in the Support Direction list.

  • You can override the direction of a support when the support is placed without a supporting structure as the software cannot calculate the support direction accurately.

  • For Move, Rotate Object, or MDR of support along with the route, the software updates the support direction values based on the rotation of the support.

  • For Move, Rotate Object, or MDR of route only, if the rotation of the route is more than 45 degrees, the software re-calculates the Support Direction.
