Automatic creation of resource attributes
Certain attributes accompany Spatial objects (those created
in Plant Layout, Systems Routing and Systems Space Reservations); objects
such as item reservations, areas, runs, etc. These attributes, or
properties, are generated specifically for the DELMIA product line and
cannot be assigned or changed in other product lines.
Although you will not be making use of these resource properties, their
creation will have no affect on the product you are working in. If you do
not want these properties to be created, click to clear the check box
Automatic creation of resource attributes and click OK. |

Display image while placing catalog object in 3D viewer
You can choose to hide or display a preview of the part you are placing.
Check or uncheck the box Display image while placing catalog object in

Place at component's origin when placing in free space
By default, when you click (in free space) to place a part, the center
of the part will be placed at that location. The application determines the
center of the part by creating a box around it and selecting the center of
the base of the box. You can also choose to place the
origin of the part at the point where you click. To do this check the
box Place at component's origin when placing in free space. |

Area Options
Make areas pickable
By default, when you create an area, you are not able to place the
compass or a reference plane on it. This option allow you to place a compass or reference plane
on the created area.
You should note that when you make an area pickable, the origin moves to
the surface of the area. This happens in any area you open. However, by
default the option is clear and the origin is in the center of the area. |
