FR/LP Positions

Purpose

To view/change the frame and longitudinal positions.

Prerequisites

None.

Instructions

Choose frame, horizontal or vertical longitudinal positions. The positions are given as start, step and end values. Also, the coordinate values are given as start, step and end values. If any of the end values are omitted it will be calculated automatically. If two end values are given the program will make sure they are matching by recalculating one of them if necessary.

The function also allows the user to define additional position tables to be used in cases where this is required, typically when a ship contains two distinct parts with different positions (for example, a steel lower part and an aluminium upper part). The different tables are defined within a geographical area and the modelling functions and ruler functions will consider this. However, presenting coordinates with the dimensioning function will always use the default table for translation.

The frame and/or longitudinal positions are defined.
