Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES The positioning consists in: - positioning the origin of the 3D space on the image - defining the direction of 3D the axis system according to the image - defining the true product size Positioning the 3D space origin: Use the manipulators to position the origin Defining the direction of the axis: - Use this manipulator to rotate the axis system around its origin - Use the Flip option to invert the orientation of the axis - If the image does correspond to a standard view, activate this view (ex: left view) to position the axis Positioning the Image (2/3)

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES The positioning consists in: - positioning the origin of the 3D space on the image - defining the direction of 3D the axis system according to the image - defining the product size Defining the product size: Use the sizemanipulator to define the true size of the product represented by the image Use the Edit option of the contextual menu to open the tuner dialog box and define the dimension by precise coordinates in the 3D axis system. The relative option is used to define the position of the manipulator according to its last position. The reset origin button repositions the reference point at the current position of the manipulator. The true length option makes the defined value be the length between the reference and the current position.
