THROUGH POSITION
Description:
This command allows the designer to position the Component through the intersection with a fixed design element or position (say a Nozzle) or a cursor position. The Component is positioned along the constrained centerline where the reference plane intersecting, say, the specified Nozzle, cuts at right angles. For cursor positioning it is therefore advisable to use orthogonal views for orthogonal piping.

Examples: |
|
|---|---|
|
POS THR /TANK5 |
The origin of the current Component will be positioned on the constrained centerline where this intersects the perpendicular reference plane through the named element (see ). |
|
POS PA THR X3000 |
The Arrive point of the current Component will be positioned on the constrained centerline where the perpendicular reference plane through X3000 YN0 XU0 intersects (see . |
|
THR @ |
The Component will be placed on the constrained centerline where the perpendicular reference plane indicated by the cursor intersects (see ). |
Note: The reference plane is perpendicular to the constrained centerline. If the cursor is used, the position will be located on the working grid nearest to the cursor.
