Positioning the component axis

You can now position the component axis more easily. The icons to the right of the preview are no longer available. You can still position the component axis intuitively by dragging it to its new position. Point to to see a short description of how to position the component axis.

You have the following options:

• Intuitive
  Use the mouse to move the axis: the cursor becomes a double arrow, and the component axis will snap to the positions marked by small black boxes. The values on the left of the preview show the distance to the edges.
  
  The following positions are predefined:
  Left edge of component or layer
  Right edge of component or layer
  Center of component or layer
• Custom position based on value you enter
  Click one of the data entry boxes on the left of the preview. Enter any value defining the distance between the axis and edge of the wall. The program automatically calculates the value for the other side.

The following tools also offer these new options for the component axis:
