MOVE DISTANCE INFRONT BEHIND
Description
This command moves the Current Element (CE) until its origin is a specified distance one side or the other of a fixed geometric object. This takes into account the volume of the referenced element but not of the CE. Therefore it is applicable to, say, spacing the centreline of a vessel or column a certain distance from the surface of a wall.

|---|---|
|
MOVE E DIST 1000 BEH /WALL10 |
The CE is moved East until its origin is 1000 beyond the far side of /WALL10 (refer to the Moving either side of a fixed object image). |
|
MOVE N45E DISTANCE 20 INFRONT /EXCH5 |
The CE is moved until its origin is 20 to the near side of /EXCH5 (refer to the Moving either side of a fixed object image and the Moving either side of a fixed object in a specified direction image). |
