MOVE ALONG TOWARDS PLANE DISTANCE

Description:

This command differs from the basic option by allowing the distance moved to be specified in a different plane from the actual movement direction.

Examples:

MOVE TOW /DATUM PLANE XE DIST 1000

The Current Element is moved towards the specified design item until its Easting (in owner coordinates) has changed by 1000 (see Requirements for the Thermo Library Generation Tool).
