General Polar Positioning from the Origin

Model Reference Manual

Equipment and Primitives : Positioning at a Known Point : General Polar Positioning from the Origin

This command differs from the basic polar option by allowing the distance from the owner’s origin to be specified more generally. The PLANE element of the command enables this distance to be given in a direction different from the polar direction.

Examples:


Example:
POLAR N30E PLANE N DIST 1000	Positions the Current Element along the N30E line from the owner origin at N1000 (see Figure 7:7.: General polar positioning from the origin by specifying a plane).
