a grid line from the X plane of the volume
right-click, and click Y axis
➤
Remove Grid Line.
a grid line from the Y plane of the volume
right-click, and click Z axis
➤
Remove Grid Line.
a grid line from the Z plane of the volume
3 Click the grid line to be removed from the volume.
■
If you have removed a line from a layout volume with manually spaced lines, the specified line is
removed from the volume. The position of the other lines remains unchanged.
■
If you have removed a line from a layout volume with evenly spaced lines, the specified line is removed
from the volume. All remaining lines are recalculated, so that they are evenly distributed again.
Changing the Spacing Mode of Layout Volumes
Use this procedure to change how modes are positioned along a layout volume. For more information, see “ Adding
Layout Volumes ” on page 1491.
For example, you can change the mode so that a volume with manually spaced nodes becomes a volume with evenly
spaced nodes. If you want to add nodes to a layout volume with a fixed number of nodes, you must first convert the
layout volume to the manually spaced or evenly spaced mode.
You can also change the layout mode on the Properties palette.
1 Select the layout volume by selecting one of the node anchors.
2 Right-click, and click Layout Mode.
3 Select the desired mode, and press
ENTER
.
■
If you are changing a layout volume with manually spaced nodes to a volume with nodes placed at a
fixed repeated spacing value, you are prompted for start and end offsets, and the distance between the
nodes. If there are too few nodes on the curve to fill it, new nodes are created at the specified distance.
■
If you are changing a layout volume with manually spaced nodes to a volume with evenly spaced
nodes, you are prompted for start and end offsets for the volume. The existing nodes are distributed
evenly on the volume.
■
If you are changing a volume with nodes placed at a fixed repeated spacing value to a volume with
manually spaced nodes, there is no visible change. However, the nodes have been converted to manual
nodes, so that you now can add nodes to and remove nodes from the volume.
■
If you are changing a volume with nodes placed at a fixed repeated spacing value to a volume with
evenly spaced nodes, you are prompted for start and end offsets. The existing nodes are than recalculated
and distributed evenly. You can now add nodes to and remove nodes from the volume.
■
If you are changing a volume with evenly spaced nodes to a volume with manually spaced nodes,
there is no visible change. If you change the volume, however, the nodes remain fixed and are no
longer redistributed evenly.
■
If you are changing a volume with evenly spaced nodes to a volume with nodes placed at a fixed
repeated spacing value, you are prompted for start and end offsets, and the distance between the nodes.
If there are too few nodes on the curve to fill it, new nodes are created at the specified distance.
Changing the Display Properties of Layout Volumes
Use this procedure to change any of the following display properties of the nodes on a layout volume:
■
Visibility (display component is on or off)
■
Layer
■
Color
