Keywords:
DRAG AT BY POSITION MOVE DISTANCE THROUGH FROM TO CLEARANCE INFRONT BEHIND ONTOP UNDER
Description:
This command is identical to the DRAG command described in the previous subsection except that, if the current element is a Branch, the bottom/top of piping positioning syntax can be used.
|
Examples: |
|
|---|---|
|
DRAG THRO @ |
The current element and constrained network are moved along the constrained centerline until the origin of the current element lies on a reference plane which passes through the cursor position. |
|
DRAG MOVE S DISTANCE |
The current element and constrained network are moved South by the specified distance. |
|
DRAG DISTANCE 1000 ONTO /GRADE |
The current element and constrained network are dragged so that the origin of the current element is 1000 above /GRADE. |
|
DRAG BOP ONTO /BEAM2-1 CLEAR 150 |
The current (Branch) element and constrained network are dragged so that the Tube will be positioned on top of /BEAM2-1 with a clearance of 150. |
Note: As it changes orientation as well as position, CONNECT cannot be used in conjunction with DRAG.
