Definitions

The "current" point refers to a specific 3D point in the drawing and is required by

most of the locking sub-functions and the 3D point definition mode "OFFSET FROM CURRENT". In certain situations, the current point will initially be set by the system, in others it will not. The user has always the opportunity to (re)define the current point for the user's own purposes. A particular line or plane lock that initially has been set by the system and for some reasons must not be reset by the user is called STATIC. An example of this is when the systems requires a user-defined point that must lie on a predefined line; this line is initially locked STATIC to meet this condition.
