Basic Creation Methods

A STRA can be defined in two ways:

• By defining the positions of the end-points (from which the values of length and angle can be derived if required).

• By defining the position of the mid-point and values of LENG and ADEG (from which the positions of the end-points can be derived if required).

The commands:

NEW STRA

DEF @

results in two points being prompted for; a line is drawn between the two points and TCOD is set to ENDPOINT. Refer to Position (absolute) for further information.

The command:

ODEF @

prompts for two points. The straight is vertical or horizontal depending on the relative sizes of the horizontal and vertical offsets between the two points given.
