FC Operation notes
-----

• New Drawing, PartsDesign WB, create Body, create Sketch, select XY plane, OK
  create shape (circle, rectangle, whatever) in new sketch

• See where you are:
  • select sketch in tree
  • select Data
  • In Attachment block, click to expand Attachment details
    see the x, y, and z coord of the attachment point in Position field
    see definition of rotation axis in Axis field
    see amount of rotation about axis in Angle field
  • In Base block, click to expand Placement
    see the x, y, and z coord in Position field what are these??
    see definition of rotation axis in Axis field
    see amount of rotation about axis in Angle field
  • If you manually edit parameters in the Attachment block,
    your changes are duplicated in the Base - Placement field as well

  • Stragely, if you "transform" the body,
        (right-click body, select Transform, drag a axis pointer as desired)
    then while the part does move, just as if you'd edited the Attachment block,
    but data values don't change in either Attachment or Base block?!?!
    investigated...
