Specify Beta Value and Select a Point

When you define a new Production Line, selecting the Specify Beta and Select a Point option allows you to enter the Beta value to determine the slope of the line by selecting a datapoint. For example, the following steps demonstrate how to draw a Nameplate Line using the Specify Beta and Select a Point option.

Steps

  1. Define a Nameplate Line.

    Add/Modify Nameplate Line window

  2. On the Add/Modify Demonstrated Line window, select Specify Beta & Select Point.
  3. In the Beta box, enter the desired Beta value, and then select OK.

    Note: If a Nameplate Line does not currently exist, the value for Beta is set by default to 0, but can be changed to any number between .001 and 1000. If a Nameplate Line does exist, the value for Beta is set to the value of that line but can be changed to any number between .001 and 1000. Keep in mind that the higher the Beta value, the more vertical the line will be.

  4. Select OK.

    The Nameplate Line is drawn through the selected datapoint, its slope determined by the specified Beta value.
