Ship Coordinate References to RSOs - *12.1.SP3*

Description
The ship coordinate system functionality has been enhanced to be able to get alternative dimensions when using pseudo attributes SHIPX, SHIPY and SHIPZ. The new alternative expression of coordinates are:
-
X coordinates expressed as distance to a certain transversal bulkhead.
-
Y coordinates expressed as distance to a certain longitudinal bulkhead or as distance from the centerline.
-
Z coordinates expressed as distance to a certain deck.
To get this information RSOs must exist for the bulkheads or decks and to use those RSOs for dimensioning in the according direction the RSO attribute RSDIM has to be set to one of the values DIMX, DIMY or DIMZ.
The reference is built up according to the rule.
<RSO_name>(<X/Y/Z_position_of_RSO>) +/- <distance_from_RSO>
The ship coordinate option can be enabled in the target application by the command SHIPCO ON (default: OFF).
Benefits
This functionality can replace customer in-house tools that were needed to get the requested information in for example, isometric drawings.
Compatibility Constraints
None
