CADWORX device positioning issue
Thread Content
When I use the CADWORX software to create pumps, the default positioning point for the pump is the intersection of the front end of the impeller and the shaft, located within the pump casing. However, I am used to setting the pumping position at the intersection of the center of the pump casing and the shaft. When placing the pump using the software’s default positioning point, it is necessary to adjust the position by a certain distance, which is quite cumbersome. Could you experts tell me how to change the software’s default positioning point? ? ?
Positioning point, what do you want to use it for? Is it for locating devices? Is it still to define the device size? If you want to define equipment in the overall diagram, you can specify the equipment location at any point; there is no need to move the reference point, and the reference point can be moved. After moving the reference point, change the coordinates under Placement to 0, 0, 0.
What was said upstairs is correct; it’s just a matter of moving the positioning anchor point that appears as a cross (white) in the graphic
In fact, this positioning point isn’t very useful; within a single device, you can move the reference point as you wish, and in the assembly diagram, you can move the device as you desire. This reference point merely indicates the location where the device is inserted in the assembly diagram, and it has little to do with 3D modeling or pipeline routing.
It’s that crucifer! Just move to where you think is convenient! It is recommended to move this cross to that point and then change the coordinates to 0, 0, 0! It’s more convenient to insert devices using references or in blocks! It’s just like the base point used when creating BLOCKs in CAD! It’s still a bit useful!
