Examples: |
|
|---|---|
|
MOVE Y30W DIST 30 TO(or FROM) /BOX |
Move the Current Element Y30W until its origin intersects a Reference Plane 30 before (or beyond) the origin of /BOX (see ). |
|
MOVE X DIST 1000 FROM /VESSEL5 |
Move the Current Element East until its origin intersects a Reference Plane 1000 beyond the origin of /VESSEL5 (see ). |
|
MOVE ALONG Y45E DIST 20 TO /COL8 |
Move the Current Element along Y45E until its origin intersects a Reference Plane 20 before the origin of /COL8 (see ). |
Note: The Reference Plane is perpendicular to the movement direction.
