POSITION PLANE CLEARANCE INFRONT BEHIND ONTOP UNDER
Description
This command differs from the basic options in two respects:
-
The clearance dimension can be in an independent plane from the constrained centerline.
-
The current element Arrive or Leave Tube can be used (similar to BOP) rather than the whole element geometry.
Examples
PLANE E CLEARANCE 1000
The current Component will be placed on the constrained centerline so that it is 1000 clear of the Previous Component in an East-West direction (refer to the Component clearance specified relative to an independent plane image).
POS PL CLEAR 100 ONTO /BEAM
The current Component will be placed on the constrained centerline so that the Tube from its Leave Point is 100 vertically above /BEAM (same as BOP)
