The General tab displays the control point properties that you can edit or that are automatically determined by the software at placement. The property name appears on the left side of the grid and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the grid. If you selected more than one control point and then selected the Properties command, only the common properties between the selected control points display.

When viewing properties for a single control point, the following properties display. More properties may display depending on what you defined in the reference data. See the Material Handling Reference Data Help.

Category

Select the type of properties that you want to view for the selected control point. Control point properties have only one category: Standard.

Control Point Type

Specifies the appropriate category of the point. You select an option from a select list, which includes Control Point, Keypoint, and Insertion Point.

Control Point Subtype

Provides a further breakdown for the type of control point. In the Material Handling task, control points are usually restricted to Structure.

Name

Identifies the control point with a name that you can define, or use the selection that a rule defines. The GenericNamingRules.xls workbook lists the naming rules used in the software. See the Reference Data Help.

Naming Rule

Specifies the name rule used to generate the name of the grid plane. Set this option to User Defined if you want to specify the name yourself.

Diameter

Sets the diameter of the control point sphere.

Parent Object

Specifies the object to which the control point is associated. This value is read-only.

Associativity

Specifies whether the control point is associated with another object. In the Material Handling task, most control points are associated with a set of grids.

E

Displays the coordinate of the control point along the E-axis (East).

N

Displays the coordinate of the control point along the N-axis (North).

EL

Displays the coordinate of the control point along the EL-axis (Elevation).
