3.2.2.2How to create a Drawn Aperture

You can create a Drawn aperture by using the Aperture dialog box, the Aperture toolbar, or by dragging and dropping the aperture in the 2D display window.

Note: Before you can use the drag and drop method you must first select a Drawn aperture shape using either of the first two methods.

The Aperture dialog box, and the Aperture toolbar offer the same choices for creating a Drawn aperture. The entries that define a Drawn aperture are listed vertically within the recessed panel of the dialog box. These same entries are arranged horizontally on the aperture toolbar. You can make the same changes from either location. The following discussion will reference the dialog box, but applies equally to the toolbar.

Choose an aperture Shape. Enter the aperture’s Center location in X and Y coordinate values.

Note: You can modify any edit text control item by double-clicking inside the item and typing the new value.
