Setting Attachments

Attachments provide the ability to constrain a drawing element or pattern vertices to certain distances from

board edges and center lines, allowing exact placement of carvings on the board. Once an attachment is placed,

the carving will be constrained to that distance during any future manipulation.

When any drawing element is placed onto a board, green horizontal and vertical advisory attachment labels will

be drawn to show the closest attachment points (Figure 6�9). These advisory attachment labels are informational

only, and serve to aid placement as well as to provide quick means to set attachments.

Figure 6�5� Advisory Attachment Labels

There are two ways to create an attachment. First, you may click on one of the green advisory attachment

labels and enter a value. Second, you may right-click any attachable vertex, choose the “Attach” option from its

context menu, move the mouse close to the edge you wish to attach to until the yellow label is pointing to the

desired attachment point (Figure 6�10), then left-click to place and set the distance.

Figure 6�6� An Example Attachment

Once an attachment is placed, it is displayed as a yellow label indicating that it is now a xed value constraining

the position of the carving. Attachment labels may be hidden by deselecting the View Labels

option

through the View pull down or View tool bar.
