Stretching a Suspension Rod or Secondary Support

Stretch or shorten the length of the support rod that has been added to the assembly.

• Primary support suspension rod
• Secondary support profile

Do as follows:

1. On the tab, in the Fastening group, click Edit > Stretch support rod or beam.
2. Use points to indicate the area within which you wish to stretch the geometry.

   

   The area can include more than the one rod/support you would like to stretch by the same amount.

3. Indicate a reference point for the displacement.

   

4. Indicate the displacement in either of the following ways:
   • Specify the displacement as a distance.

     For example: place the ruler along the X, Y or Z axis and enter the distance value in relation to the selected reference point.

   • Place the ruler and indicate the displacement by selecting a point elsewhere in the geometry.
5. Confirm the displacement.
6. Update the length into support data.
   • Lengthen - Click the +D button.
   • Shorten - Click the -D button.
7. Select OK.
