Modifying a Track

This task describes how to modify a track to accommodate changes in the geometry, e.g., when a part is moved outside of the track definition. Although this example shows a part being moved, this process applies to moving shuttles, lights, section planes, or cameras.

Open the COPY_PASTE_TRACKS.CATProduct file from the online/cfysm_C2/samples/DMUApplications/simu online/cfysm_E2/samples/DMUApplications/simudirectory.

This path for this directory is provided relative to the documentation installation directory.

Right-click on the compass and select Snap Automatically to Selected Object.
Select the DEMO_CGE_CHAINSAW_BODY_TANK_RSIDE part from the specification tree or the geometry.
Use the compass to move the part.
Right-click on the compass and deselect Snap Automatically to Selected Object.
On either the specification tree or geometry, right-click on the track and select Track.1 (Track.1) object > Definition.

Note that the moved part jumps to the position it occupied when the track was originally defined.
Use the compass to move the part to the position it occupied in step 3.
On the Recorder toolbar, click Modify .

The track now uses the new position of the part.
