Human Posture Analysis - Angular Limitations Undo/Redo

Angular Limitations Undo/Redo
This procedure describes how to use the Undo/Redo feature with angular limitations. Undo/Redo allows you to reverse (cancel) the last angular limitation parameters applied to the manikin.

Undo
Click the Undo icon  in the Standard toolbar to execute the Undo command.
The images below show the state of a manikin after applying the Undo command to a particular set of angular parameters.

Redo
This command repeats the last cancelled action. Click the Redo icon  in the main menu toolbar to execute the Redo command.
A Redo operation can also be undone. For example, you can restore the last angular limitation parameters by invoking the Undo  command.

Human Posture Analysis - Displaying and Editing Angular Limitations

Displaying and Editing Angular Limitations
This procedure describes how to display the values of the angular limitations for the DOF (degrees of freedom) that is currently active. It also describes how to set angular limitations as a percentage.
1. Select the Edit Angular Limitations icon   and then select a segment. 
The limits arrows are displayed. These arrows are set by default at the mean values of movement limits. The colored region represents the total range of motion for that DOF. 

●     The green arrow shows the upper limit.
●     The yellow arrow shows the lower limit.
●     The blue arrow is used to change the position of the active segment.
Selecting another segment while the command is running opens the angular limitations for the new segment and closes them for the previous one.

Human Posture Analysis - Animate Viewpoint

Animate Viewpoint
This option zooms on the selected segment and changes the viewpoint in order to provide the best possible view for that degree of freedom. This improves the range of motion chart display and as well as the capability to better manipulate the blue arrow. 
Predefined Postures
Use the Predefined Postures functionality to assign a predefined posture to the worker. From the Predefined Postures list, choose from the six available postures.
