Defines the hole pitch for components of bar assemblies. A hole pitch is regular editing process for a component. One example is an bracket which can have regular hole spacing.

Dialog box section Graphics
All the processes used are displayed in the display box, whereby the active process is highlighted in color.
The processes produced with this function are not evaluated as a process during the evaluation with Bar list. If an evaluation is to take place, use the command Arrangement manager for this.
Dialog box section Processing
In this section you can see the processes assigned to the component. The entries in the list include, provided they are issued, a designator and an item number, but always their quantity. A minus sign after the quantity indicates that the process works as a difference volume on the component. A plus sign after the quantity indicates that the process works as an addition volume on the component.
Add With this function you add a process to the list, whereby a copy of the selected process is created. This new process can now be appropriately adapted to requirements.
Modify With this function you overwrite the marked entry in the list with the settings of the current process in the store.
Remove With this function you remove the marked process from the list.
Dialog box section Outline
In this section there are two ways of assigning outlines using pull-down menus.
Input By pressing the button [...] the dialog box is temporarily closed and the following input request appears.
Input request
Select outline or [?]:
Use the mouse to select the objects whose outlines are to be assigned to the process. These can be circles or polyline outlines.
Specify base point or [?]:
Use the mouse to select the base point of the process. This input request does not appear if you have chosen a block when selecting an object, because it has a base point.
Outline The button [...] gives you access to the Dialog box Outline in which you can edit the corresponding process.
A tick in the tick box Hole causes the process to act as a difference volume on the component.
Dialog box section Displacement
In this section you define the displacement of the base point for the process.
Positive and negative entries are possible. Entries with more than two decimal places are rounded. The entries can be made with orthogonal or polar values.
All changes are displayed in the graphics windows for a visual check, but they only become effective on clicking the button Change.
Dialog box section Rotation
In this section you define the rotation for the process. A positive entry causes a rotation in the mathematically positive sense about the base point of the process.
Dialog box section Mirror
In this section you define the mirroring for the process. X mirroring causes mirroring of the current component about the Y axis. The process is in this respect mirrored about its base point. Y mirroring causes mirroring of the current process about the X axis. The process is in this respect mirrored about its base point.
Dialog box section Path
Start point In this section you define the position of the process on the component. Positive and negative entries are possible. Value entries with more than one decimal place are appropriately rounded off. The entries can be made with orthogonal or polar values.
Displacement In this section you define the displacement for the process. The displacement causes a spatial thickness in the X or Y direction to be added to the process. Positive and negative entries are possible. Value entries with more than one decimal place are appropriately rounded off. The entries can be made with orthogonal or polar values.
Dialog box section Distribution
In this section you define the distribution of the assembly in the longitudinal direction of the subsequent bar.
The distribution is schematically displayed in the graphics window for visual control.
Dialog box section Array
Distance This entry defines the spacing between the processes.
Start/End This value defines the distance from the start/end of the bar to the start of the first/last process.
Start This setting causes the distribution of the process to start from the set reference point with the start distance.
End This setting causes the distribution of the process to start from the set reference point with the end distance.
Middle This setting causes the distribution of at least two processes to start from the middle of the construction line at the distance. If follows that with this setting an even number of processes is always produced.
Centered This setting centers an odd number of processes along the bar axis. This means that the first process is positioned in the center of the bar axis.
