A STRA can have its ‘from’ point, ‘mid’ point or ‘to’ point positioned or moved. Apart from the initial keyword (FPT, MPT, TPT) specifying which point you are setting the syntax is similar throughout:
|
To position at a 2D (for example, X,Y) position |
|
|
FPT @ FPT X 50 Y -250 |
prompts: Enter a 2-d position |
|
To position at a 3D (for example, ENU position): |
|
|
FPT POS @ FPT E12500 S5000 U0 |
prompts: Input a point in a View |
|
To position on a p-point: |
|
|
FPT ID @ FPT IDP @ FPT /PUMP2/N1 FPT P1 OF /PUMP2/N1 |
prompts: Identify element prompts: Identify design p-point |
If the MPT command is used, the TCOD is set to MIDPOINT, this is a single point STRAIGHT and must have its LENGTH set.
A straight can also be created by giving an orthogonal To point:
OPPT x 50 y 97
OTPT @
The straight is vertical or horizontal depending on the relative sizes of the horizontal and vertical offsets between the From point and the To point.
Points on a STRA (FPT, TPT) can be identified using the command:
Q IDN @
