Move mast by distance
This function allows you to move the mast specified distances in the plane X and Y directions.
To run this function: Choose Design > Ring design > Move mast > By distance, or...
X movement
Enter the distance you want to move the mast in the plane X direction. If you want the mast to move to the right, enter a positive distance, otherwise enter the distance as a negative number.
Y movement
Enter the distance you want to move the mast in the plane Y direction. If you want the mast to move upwards, enter a positive distance, otherwise enter the distance as a negative number.
If the new mast location is still within the survey opening and the pivot point is within the specified limits, the mast will be moved by the specified distances in the plane X and Y directions, otherwise it will remain where it is and a warning will be displayed in the message window.
The New Rig position would be located outside the Survey Opening
Warning message indicating that the mast cannot be moved to the specified coordinates and remain in the survey opening.
The new rig position would place the pivot point outside the reach of the rig
Warning message indicating that the mast cannot be moved to the specified coordinates as the pivot would be below the minimum height, above the maximum height or outside the lateral limits specified for the rig. To see these limits, choose MOVE MAST By Graphics.
