P-line Distance
P-line distance is stored in the PKDI attribute of the appropriate annotation elements (GLAB, SLAB, VNOT, ADIM, DPPT and PPPT). The proportional distance is stored along the p-line from its start. The default value for this attribute can be altered. Its initial value is 0.5, meaning the midpoint of the p-line.
The PKDI attribute can be set directly using the syntax:
PKDIstance STart
PKDIstance ENd
These commands set the values 0.0 and 1.0 respectively.
PKDIstance
[
PROPortion

value
The value can also be obtained by cursor using the PKEY and DDNM attributes of the current element (if suitable):
PKDIstance @
The point input is converted to a proportional distance.
PKDIstance DEFault
The command resets the PKDI attribute to the default value. The default value can be altered using the syntax:
SETDefault PKDIstance
value
The current value of the PKDI default setting can be queried:
Query SETDefault PKDIstance
