Positioning at a Coordinate

Model Reference Manual

This command positions the Current Element directly by giving the 3D coordinates, the name of another element or p-point position, or visually by using the cursor.


Examples:
AT E3’ N4’6 U1’	Current Element will be placed at the specified owner coordinate position (see Figure 7:4.: Positioning the Current Element at a known point).
AT IDP@	Current Element will be placed at the p-point picked by the cursor.
AT@	The Current Element will be placed at the toleranced working grid position indicated by the cursor hit. Prompt alerts appear, and the position is generated by hits in two orthogonal views.
POS PIN5 AT E3000	The specified PIN and Current Element will be positioned as a single rigid item, so that the PIN is at E3000 N0 U0 (see Figure 7:5.: Positioning a PIN and the current element together at a known point).

Querying Examples:


Q POS	Gives position of Current Element origin in owner coordinates
Q POS IN SITE	Gives position of Current Element origin in Site
Q POS IDP@	Gives position of picked p-point
