Joints using the code letter J. Applications for Joints: <i>Schematics (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic)</i> Importing points as connecting points (<a href='#JP1'>example</a>) Text - redefine it for each inserted Submodel (<a href='#JN1'>example</a>) <i>Kinematics</i> NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. <i>Animation paths, Camera Drives</i> NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. <hr> <p><a name='JP1'></a></p> <h3>Joints on points:</h3> The corresponding point is created automatically when inserting this model as Submodel - the point is imported in the parent model. Example: The current model is an electrical resistance; the connection points are defined as joints. When inserting the resistance as a submodel to be Connection points automatically generates normal points. See sample_DiagEl1.gcad model. <hr> <p><a name='JN1'></a></p> <h3>Joints on Notes:</h3> This allows to modify the text of the corresponding note - The text can be redefined when inserting this new model as Submodel. Example: The current model is an electrical resistance; a note with the resistance value is defined as a joint. When inserting this model, the resistance value can be redefined. See sample_DiagEl1.gcad model. <h2>CAD-Functions Joints:</h2> <hr> <p><a name='F1'></a></p> <h2>Joint-export</h2> Export an object of the current model as a joint. <b>joint-object:</b> currently only <a href='#JP1'>Point</a> oder <a href='#JN1'>Note</a>. <b>Output:</b> J1 = P20 <hr> <p><a name='F2'></a></p> <h2>Joint-import</h2> Import an object of a Submodel. The Submodel-object must have been exported with Joint-export. <b>Attention:</b> all exported objects will be imported automatically when creating a Submodel with (<a href="CAD_Model_de.htm#F0">M int.Model Submodel</a>) This interactive feature is only for the modification of joint-imports necessary. <b>Submodel:</b> the Submodel from which the joint will be imported <b>Joint:</b> J# (the joint in the Submodel) <b>Text:</b> only for note-joints: the text that replaces the original text. <b>Output:</b> P20 = P20 M20 IMP N20 = N20 M20 IMP "new text" </PRE> </BODY> </HTML>
