Moving in any Direction: Distance Given in Different Plane

Model Reference Manual

Equipment and Primitives : Moving by a Known Distance : Moving in any Direction: Distance Given in Different Plane

This command differs from the basic option by allowing the distance moved to be specified in a different plane from the actual movement direction.


Example:
MOVE TOW /DATUM PLANE E DIST 1000	The Current Element is moved towards the specified design item until its Easting (in owner coordinates) has changed by 1000 (see Figure 7:15.: Moving in a direction specified in a different plane).
