Fixture Placement Segment

at Intervals

You can configure this constraint to automatically place fixtures on bundles using predefined spacing.

Usage

Place Fixture on All Segments for All bundles matching Name = .* and - min length = 0.0, max length= 0.0, at intervals = num with part number = , position = Below, from = Junction, offset= 0.0 using datum

Arguments

All Segments

Use this argument to set the scope of bundle segments considered by constraint. All segments The constraint considers all segments of a bundle from the “from” argument.

Single segment The constraint considers the first available segment from the “from” argument. Note If the specified “offset” is greater than the length of the first single segment, the constraint places the fixture at the specified offset on the next segment.

Examples

This example shows the constraint placing a fixture on a “Single segment” at a “30.0” unit “offset” from a “Connector”. The interval is set to “0.0” which means only one fixture is placed per bundle. Figure 327: Single Segment Usage
This example shows the constraint placing multiple fixtures on “All segments” starting from a “30.0” unit “offset” from a “Connector” then at “50.0” unit intervals. Figure 328: All Segment Usage
