Cartesian P-point (PTCAR)

A PTCAR allows a P-point to be defined by specifying its position and direction explicitly. A PTCAR has no member elements and has the following attributes:

• NUMB - the P-point number

• PCON - the connection type

• PBOR - the bore of the P-point

• PX,PY,PZ - the X, Y, Z coordinates of the P-point

• PTCDIR - the direction of the P-point

• PSKEY - the pipe fitting (end condition) type to be used by Isodraft

• DESC - a textual description of the P-point

• PURP - the purpose of the P-point

PTCDIR must be set as a direction - refer to Defining a Direction for further information.
