Query the Nearest Side to an Item

You can query the nearest side of a View to a given P-point, proportional distance along a P-line, or origin of a Design element in the current View using the command:

Q VSIDE [ROTated] OF 3d_point_definition

For example:

Q VSIDE OF /VESS-99

Q VSIDE OF PPO2 OF /VALVE-100

Q VSIDE OF PPLINE TOS OF /SCTN-101 START

Q VSIDE OF PPLINE MEML OF /SCTN-101 PROP 0.5

The ROTATED option allows the rotation (for example, the VIEW’s RCOD attribute) to be considered if required.

The response is the nearest and next-nearest sides, and also whether the item is inside or outside the View. For example, Point 1 is LEFT UP OUTSIDE.
