General Positioning through an Intersection

Model Reference Manual

This command differs from the basic options by allowing the reference plane to be specified independently of the constrained centreline. This is particularly relevant for routing sloping lines where a specific Easting or Northing is to be intersected.


Example:
PLANE E DIST 1000	The Component will be placed on the constrained centreline so that its origin is 1000 from the previous Component’s origin in an East/West direction (see Figure 8:20.: Positioning through an intersection defined in an independent plane).
