Edit the node coordinates

Description: Edits the coordinates of the node.

This is used when you want to adjust the coordinates of the created grid or to edit the coordinates of a grid whose data are read from an external file.

Grid coordinates are edited as follows:

  1. In [Object Browser], select [Grid] - [Grid shape] (Figure 355).

  2. Select the node whose coordinates you want to edit. (Refer to Select the node)

  3. Edit the coordinates of the selected node.

Edits the selected node (3) as follow:

Menu bar: [Grid] (G) –> [Edit] (E) –> [Grid Coordinates] (V)

When two or more nodes are selected, the [Edit grid coordinates] dialog (Figure 356) will open. When only one node is selected, the [Grid coordinates edit dialog] (Figure 357) will open.

Input the quantity of movement of the node in the [Edit Grid Coordinates] dialog (Figure 356) and the new coordinate of the node in the [Grid coordinates edit dialog] dialog (Figure 357). The [Grid Coordinates Edit] (Figure 357) dialog also displays the index of the selected node. (Index numbers start from 1.)

The node coordinates can be edited by mouse. When the mouse cursor is on a node, the cursor shape changes to an “open hand”. Left drag the node to move it.
