Spot.pngPlacing Hoist Origins

The hoist origin serves as a reference point for associated hoists. Several hoist origins can be placed in the drawing, and different hoists can refer to different hoist origins. The coordinates displayed for each hoist are based on its position relative to the assigned hoist origin.
