: Component Clearance Positioning
Component Clearance Positioning
The commands in this section position the Component on the constrained centreline to give a specified clearance distance from a fixed design item.
The clearance specified usually takes into account both the current element and referenced element geometric shapes. However, the following rules also apply:
•
If the current element or referenced element is used and has a geometric shape, then this is considered.
•
If an Arrive or Leave p-point on the current element or referenced element is used, then the Tube cross-sectional geometry at that point is considered (
not
the Component geometry).
•
If the current element or referenced element has no geometry, or a p-point is used that is not an Arrive or Leave, or a position is used, then only the position is considered.
A selection of Bottom of Pipe (BOP) commands are also available that provide clearance for the Tube cross-section at a Component Leave Point. All the examples in this section assume Forwards routing mode. If Backwards is in use, then the effect of each command is logically reversed.
