MOVE DISTANCE INFRONT BEHIND
Description:
This command moves the Current Element until its origin is a specified distance one side or the other of a fixed geometric object. This takes into account the volume of the referenced element but not of the Current Element. Therefore it is applicable to, say, spacing the centerline of a vessel or column a certain distance from the surface of a wall.
