The hoist origin serves as a reference point for associated hoists; it is used to calculate the location of the hoists for reports (see Creating hoist reports). 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.

You can insert, a hoist origin before or after placing hoists in the drawing.

1.      Click the tool, and then click Hoist Origin Symbol on the Tool bar.

2.The Resource Selector opens to select a hoist origin symbol; double-click a resource to activate it.

3.Click in the drawing to place the hoist origin.

4.To assign the hoist origin to a hoist in the drawing, select the hoist and specify the Origin on the Object Info palette.
