POSITION DISTANCE FROM TO

Description

This command positions the current Component so that its origin (or specified p-point) intersects the reference plane either side of the specified fixed position.

Examples
DIST 50 FROM /TANK5	The Component will be moved along the constrained centerline until its origin is 50 beyond the perpendicular plane through the named element (refer to the Positioning with respect to an intersection image).
DIST 1000 TO NEXT	The Component will be placed on the constrained centerline so that its origin is 1000 before of the Next Component’s origin (refer to the Positioning with respect to an intersection image).
POS PA DIST 20 FROM PL OF PREV	The Component will be placed on the constrained centerline so that its Arrive point is 20 from the previous Component’s Leave point (refer to the Positioning with respect to an intersection image).

Note:
The reference plane is perpendicular to the constrained centerline. TO means closer to the Previous Component than the reference plane. FROM means further from the previous Component than the reference plane.
