Bundle Configuration > Override Bundle Decoration Positions

Override Nominal Origin Segment for Bundle and Insulation Decorations

You can use this functionality to automatically override default style settings and re-position Bundle, Insulation Layer or Insulation Run decorations, using a different bundle segment as an origin segment.

The default placement of such decorations on multi-segment bundles is determined by the Origin Segment style setting. The setting enables you to configure the display of the decoration to use either the longest or center most bundle segment as its origin segment, as shown in Figure 141.

Figure 141: Origin Segment Setting

You can override this setting and automatically re-position decorations by invoking the Change Origin Segment action, and then selecting a different bundle segment to use as the decoration’s nominal origin. Figure 142 shows the result of using this action to reposition decorations.

Figure 142: Re-position Decorations

Any manual changes, such as offsets or rotations for example, that you have made to decorations are preserved when they are moved.

You can also make such manual changes to re-positioned decorations and exclude them from Apply Style and Update Border actions using the Fix action.

Decorations can be automatically returned to their default style set determined positions using the Reset Default Origin Segment action.

This video demonstrates the functionality.
