Description

The Attach Vertex attaches an existing vertex of WireFlex to external vertex or object. Attachments of vertexes are kept in special properties of WireFlex, for details see WireFlex Properties.

Once attached the wire vertex keeps the same position in 3D space as the external vertex to which it is attached to. When the external vertex is moved, the attached wire vertex moves together with it. When the wire is edited in the Draft Edit the attached vertex can not be moved. It jumps back to its attached position.

Usage

  1. Select one vertex of an existing WireFlex object in the 3D view.
  2. Select one external vertex in the 3D view holding the CTRL key.
  3. Create a new WireFlex vertex attachment by one of these methods:
    • Press the Attach Vertex button.
    • Select the Cable Wires → Attach Vertex option from the menu.
    • Right-click in the Tree view or the 3D view and select the Cable Wires → Attach Vertex option from the context menu.

Note: selection of external elements other then vertexes is treated as a selection of entire object. Attachment to object is understood as an attachment to its Placement.Base.
