The Hidden-Point Bar Database

Hidden-Point Bar definitions are saved with the Users Options. Bars can be defined in either of three ways:

Automatic Hidden Point Computation

The most effective way to use hidden point bars or fixtures is to use a naming convention to designate points as part of a defined hidden point bar or fixture. To do so follow this naming convention:

point name $ (Bar index) _ (point index)

If this naming convention is followed hidden point locations can be updated/recomputed at any point by using the menu command Instrument>Instrument Shots>Compute Hidden Points. This can be quite helpful if hidden points are computed from multiple instrument plants and their relative positions are changed do to an alignment.
