Moving an Item Using Reference Points

Model Reference Manual

Equipment and Primitives : Moving In Front of or Behind Items : Moving an Item Using Reference Points

MOVE ALONG PLANE DISTANCE INFRONT BEHIND ONTOP UNDER

This command differs from the basic options by allowing any point on the Current Element to be moved to a specified distance from the surface of a fixed design item. In addition the distance may be specified in a direction independent of the movement direction.


Examples:
MOVE P1 E INFRONT /BOX	The Current Element will be moved East until the specified p-point is zero distance in front of /BOX (see Figure 2-24).
MOVE NOZZLE1 S DIST 200 INF /RACK (at an Equipment element)	Moves the current Equipment by positioning the Nozzle at the specified location.
