Element Offsets

Post by tennant » 24 Jun 2013, 13:44

Hi,

I have a design layout and I also have survey data. There are discrepancies (mm-ish) and I wanted to move the elements to match survey data. I used DX,DY,DZ but when I output the .flr coordinates, nothing changes. Maybe I don't fully understand what these offsets do, but I was expecting to see those offsets reflected in the output coordinates. Can you explain what's going on?

Thanks!
chris

Chris,

The floor coordinates only gives data on the nominal positions of the elements. It doesn't include the errors.

I'll look into adding that as an option in the next release.
