Queries the position of an element relative to the reference grid.
The Purpose field of the Reference Grid (REFGRD) must be populated with the value PLNT or SHIP. If more than one reference grid is populated with the Purpose value, the element position is measured from the nearest reference grid.
The table details the commands that can be used to query the position of the currently selected element.
|
q gridx |
The position of the element, relative to the nearest grid plane along the X axis, displays in the Command Window. For example: GRIDX AxisES.1 + 1830mm indicates that the position of the element is +1830mm from the grid plane ES.1 along the X axis. |
|
q gridy |
The position of the element, relative to the nearest grid plane along the Y axis, displays in the Command Window. For example: GRIDY RowES.B + 1830mm indicates that the position of the element is +1830mm from the grid plane ES.B along the Y axis. |
|
q gridz |
The position of the element, relative to grid origin along the Z axis, displays in the Command Window. For example: GRIDZ Elev+4880mm + 1830mm indicates that the position of the element is +4880mm vertically and +1830mm horizontally from the grid origin. |
|
q shipx |
The position of the element, relative to the nearest grid plane along the X axis, displays in the Command Window. For example: SHIPX AxisES.1 + 1830mm indicates that the position of the element is +1830mm along the X axis of the grid from the grid plane ES.1. |
|
q shipy |
The position of the element, relative to the nearest grid plane along the Y axis, displays in the Command Window. For example: GRIDY RowES.B + 1830mm indicates that the position of the element is +1830mm from the grid plane ES.B along the Y axis. |
|
q shipz |
The position of the element, relative to grid origin along the Z axis, displays in the Command Window. For example: SHIPZ Elev+4880mm + 1830mm indicates that the position of the element is +4880mm vertically and +1830mm horizontally from the grid origin. |
