Defining a Distance

Distance in a PTAXI element is defined by the PDISTANCE keyword (minimum abbreviation PDIS) followed by a value or a parameter function. For example:
|
PDIS 100 |
sets P-point position to 100 units along defined axis |
|
PDIS (PARAM[1] |
sets P-point position to (value of first component parameter) units along defined axis |
If you do not define the distance, a value of zero is assumed.
For the reducing tee shown in the Examples of Parameterization image, the position of P-point 3 could be defined by the commands:
PAXI X
PDIS (PARAM[2])
since PARAM 2 is the dimension called ‘height’.
