The reference system is used for the positioning and transformation of an object. The numbers applied in the Position tab and Transform tab are relative to the reference system.

The initial position and orientation of an added object are determined using the reference system. Once a component is selected, the available systems in that component are displayed in the list box. For MBD models, all the markers, LPRF, and global system are listed when a component (part) is selected. HyperView places the added object in the position and orientation of the selected system.

Optional: Activate the Auto fit check box to adjust the view so that the graphic and added object fit in the modeling window.

Note: If this option is not selected, the view will not be adjusted.

Click Apply on the Position tab.

The graphical object is added to the component (part).
