Command Qualifiers
|
/FRAMETABLE |
Used to define the frame table for the axis where: $N is the offset of Frame 0 from the origin. •/AFT or /FWD sets the direction of increasing frames. •$S is a series of numbers, each pair describing a transition. A transition consisting of the frame (first value) from which the specified spacing (second value) starts. Note: |
|
/STATIONS $N $N |
Set the station value for the AP and FP respectively. |
|
/ORIGIN |
Sets the location of the origin – either at a specific position /AP, /FP, /MIDSHIPS or at a particular value (/X $N) along the axis. |
|
/DIRECTION |
Sets the direction of increasing values either /AFT or /FWD. |
