Positioning the Component through an Intersection
Keywords:
THROUGH POSITION
Description:
This command allows the designer to position the Component through the intersection with a fixed design element or position (say a Nozzle) or a cursor position. The Component is positioned along the constrained centreline where the reference plane intersecting, say, the specified Nozzle, cuts at right angles. For cursor positioning it is therefore advisable to use orthogonal views for orthogonal piping.
Examples:
POS THR /TANK5
The origin of the current Component will be positioned on the constrained centreline where this intersects the perpendicular reference plane through the named element (see
Figure 8:14.: Positioning through an intersection
).
POS PA THR
E3000
The Arrive point of the current Component will be positioned on the constrained centreline where the perpendicular reference plane through
E3000 0 0 intersects (see
Figure 8:15.: Positioning through an intersection
.
THR @
The Component will be placed on the constrained centreline where the perpendicular reference plane indicated by the cursor intersects (see
Figure 8:16.: Positioning through an intersection
).
Note:
The reference plane is perpendicular to the constrained centreline. If the cursor is used, the position will be located on the working grid nearest to the cursor.
