Best-Fit Move Options
Toward the completion of a general best-fit operation (Ctr+B), you are provided with a series of options that are not displayed in the single instrument version of the best-fit command. This is not the case if you directly right-click on a particular instrument and select Best-Fit from its locate menu, ad the move operations are pre-defined in that case.
These options are described below.
-
Move the corresponding group. Determines whether the transform is applied to the corresponding (moving) group. If unchecked, the corresponding group is not moved.
-
Move Objects. If you’d like to transform other objects, select this option. After clicking OK, you’ll be prompted to pick the additional objects to transform.
-
Move Instruments. If you’d like to transform instruments, select this option. After clicking OK, you’ll be provided the opportunity to select instruments to transform.
-
Adjust Instrument Scale Factor. This option is only available when the scale degree of freedom is unlocked during the fit. When checked, the scale factor calculated during the fit opera- tion is applied to the moving instruments.
-
Move a copy of the working frame. When selected, the working frame will be copied, and the transform will be applied to the copy. This creates a frame that can be used to report the coordinates of the points as they were prior to the transformation.
-
Create alternate reference frame. When selected, a frame is created that represents the inverse of the applied transformation. This allows you to transform the moving objects back to their position prior to the best-fit operation through the use of a frame to frame transformation.
