If you click within a section while in define attachment
mode and an attachment is defined from that section, a message reports
exactly what kind of attachment it is. This information is useful
when the connection points are so close together that it is difficult
to determine the attachment type and direction from the visual indicator.
For example, if you click on the right side of the d component in
the previous window, the following message is displayed:
NOTE: Relative attachment (in) of right to right of parent.
You can also view the
attachments for a component or a component's child components without
entering define attachment mode. To do this, issue the following command:
rm showatt [all|kids]
If you issue just the
RM SHOWATT command, the attachments for the current component are
shown. An arrow shows the attachments, and the message line displays
the following message:
NOTE: Press any key to return.
If you issue RM SHOWATT
KIDS, the attachments for all of the active component's child components
are shown. If you specify RM SHOWATT ALL, all attachments for all
components that are descended from the current component are shown.
After you use RM SHOWATT,
the visual attachment indicators remain displayed until you press
a mouse button or a keyboard key.
