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.
