Align Tracing

Purpose

Use this tool to move the tracing and reference point in XY.

Notes:

  • Align tracing moves the reference point in addition to moving your tracings.

  • It is similar to Match Points, set up with a single pair of points; the difference is that it moves the reference point.

  • It does not take the Z axis into account.

  • It does not move images.

  • It works on all sections, even if they are hidden or suppressed.

  • It functions in both Live and Acquired image modes.

  • For other useful alignment functions, see Aligning tracings and specimens

Procedure

  1. Click the Align tracing button on the Move ribbon.

  2. Click a point on your tracing.

  3. Click the desired destination point on your screen.
