Create Multiple Copies/Link Copies in Sequence

Create Multiple Copies/Link Copies in Sequence

This section explains how to create multiple copies or link copies in sequence using the TriBall.
The right-click menu of the TriBall will be used in this operation.

As an example, we will copy the screw hole at the lower right of the figure to the location indicated by the red arrow.

Procedure:

[1] Select the Thread hole and activate the TriBall.

[2] Select a plane(※Yellow) of the TriBall.


[3] While the plane is selected, right-click and choose [Copies using TriBall Center] from the context menu of [Create Multiple Copies/Links].


[4] The TriBall will turn yellow.
Right-click on the plane and select [To Center Point].


[5] When selecting the desired edge, the TriBall moves.


[6] Press the [P] key.
The [P] key will not respond if full-width (Japanese) input is active, so please ensure half-width input is enabled.


[7] Repeat steps [4] through [6] to define the desired placement locations.
At each point where you press [P], an axis will appear, as shown by the red arrows in the diagram.


[8] After specifying all the placement locations, press the [Enter] key to complete the copy and place the screw holes.
