Component Clearance Either Side

Model Reference Manual

This command places the current Component on the constrained centreline at a specified clearance in front of or behind a fixed design object. If the Arrive or Leave point of the referenced object is used, then the Tube cross-section at this point is considered rather than the full item geometry.


Examples:
CLEAR BEHIND /WALL	The Component will be placed on the constrained centreline with zero clearance on the ‘far side’ of the specified element (see Figure 8:26.: Component clearance either side of a fixed object).
CLEAR 1200 INF PL OF NEXT	The Component will be placed on the constrained centreline with 1200 clearance ‘this side’ of the Tube emerging from the Component’s Leave point (see Figure 8:26.: Component clearance either side of a fixed object).
