Rotate View
Rotates the view 90 degrees in the clockwise direction.
Move
Moves the entire jig set relative to the pin jig layout.

Rotation Method
Specifies the method for rotating the PinJig. The available options are:
Angle
Applies rotation by an angle about a point. View type decides the axis of rotation.
Pin Heights
Applies rotation about a point such that the reference pin gets the specified height after rotation. This option is available only for the Top Side view type.
Intersection Point Heights
Applies rotation about a point such that the reference intersection point gets the specified height after rotation. This option is available only for the Top Side view type.
Orientation by 3 Angles
Displays properties to define the pin jig's orientation. This option is available only for the Top Side view type. The following properties display:
X-Rotation
Specifies the amount of counter-clockwise rotation about the global X-axis. This property is available only when you are modifying an existing pin jig. The software processes this angle first when you click Orient.
Y-Rotation
Specifies the amount of counter-clockwise rotation about the global Y-axis. This property is available only when you are modifying an existing pin jig. When you click Orient, the software processes this angle after processing the X-Rotation.
Z-Rotation
Specifies the amount of counter-clockwise rotation about the global Z-axis. This property is available only when you are modifying an existing pin jig. When you click Orient, the software processes this angle last, after processing the X-Rotation and Y-Rotation.
Orient
Updates the pin jig orientation based on the values in the three rotation boxes.
The relative orientation between the axes does not change during the operation.
Reference Point
Specifies the reference pin whose height is updated on rotation. This option is only available if the Rotation Method is set to Pin Heights.
Reference Point
Specifies the reference intersection point whose height is updated on rotation. This option is only available if the Rotation Method is set to Intersection Point Heights.
Reference Intersection Point
Specify the intersection point to use as the reference point in the girth length computation for all the intersection points in the pin jig. This point has no relationship with the rotate or move commands.
Add Pin

Add
Adds the pin to the jig set using the parameters that you have specified.
Direction

Offset
Specify a distance from the selected pin for the row of pins.
Delete Pin
Deletes a manually added pin.
Object Type

Pin Alignment
Specifies the alignment of the pins on the jig floor. This option is available when Base Plane is selected during placement of a new pin jig. It is also available when Jig Setup is selected during creation and modification of an existing pin jig. The available options are:
Default
Pins are aligned based on the tightest box bounding the supported plates.
Longest Edge
Pins are aligned based on the longest contour. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the longest contour.
Global
Pins are aligned based on the global coordinate system. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the global axes.
Centerline
Pins are aligned based on the centerline. A row of pins is placed on the centerline. This option is only available when the selected plates cross the centerline of the hull.
Left Contour
Pins are aligned based on the left contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the left contour.
Bottom Contour
Pins are aligned based on the bottom contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the bottom contour.
Right Contour
Pins are aligned based on the right contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the right contour.
Top Contour
Pins are aligned based on the top contour of the pin jig. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the top contour.
Pins on Center Line
-
Pins are aligned based on the centerline of the ship. The rows or columns of pins are parallel to the line joining the end points of the centerline. This option is available only when the supported pin jig plates pass over the centerline of the ship.
Display Text
Indicates that the pin height text displays. The available options are:
Pin heights
Displays the heights of all the pins in the view.
Intersection point heights
Displays the heights of all the intersection points in the view.
Remarking girth lengths
Displays the lengths of all the remarking girths in the view.
Attribute Viewer
Displays information about the selected object. The information displayed depends upon the type of the selected object.
Production Option
Specifies the production options to be displayed in the attribute viewer. The available options are:
Margin and Shrinkage
Considers both margin and shrinkage in the reporting data.
Margin
Considers only margins in the reporting data.
Shrinkage
Considers only shrinkage in the reporting data.
Select Pivot Point
Specifies the point about which to rotate the pin jig. This point can be any point in the setup view. If the Rotation Method box is set to Angle, this point defaults to the (H0, V0) pin. There is no default for the other rotation methods.
Rotate
Rotates the jig set around the specified pin, using the parameters that you have specified.
Angle
Specify the rotation angle.

If there are multiple remarking lines that overlap one another, the software chooses the longest remarking line to participate in creating intersection points with other crisscrossing remarking lines. If the overlapping remarking lines are identical, the software chooses based on the priority set by the pin jig rules. By default, this order is contour lines, then frames, and then seams.
