Keywords:

POSITION PLANE DISTANCE THROUGH FROM TO

Description:

This command differs from the basic options by allowing the reference plane to be specified independently of the constrained centerline. This is particularly relevant for routing sloping lines where a specific Easting or Northing is to be intersected.

Example:

PLANE E DIST 1000

The Component will be placed on the constrained centerline so that its origin is 1000 from the previous Component’s origin in an East/West direction.

Command Syntax:
