Description

Creates an ordinate dimension set origin.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

ENDOF

Minor word which indicates that the ordinate dimension set origin should be created at one end of the arc if the specified object is an arc. The end to be considered is further determined by a positional modifier (PMOD3).

CENTER

Minor word which indicates that the ordinate dimension set origin should be created at the center of the arc if the specified object is an arc. For this option, the positional modifier (PMOD3) is ignored.

PMOD3

Determines which end of the object or position on the arc is to be selected for the ordinate dimension set origin. The positional modifier can be omitted if you are selecting points or arc centers. For all other objects it must be present.

obj

Specifies the object to which the ordinate dimension set origin is to be associated. For example, a point, or the end of a line, or an arc center.

VIEW

Minor word that indicates that a view name is to follow.

'View Name'

This is a string variable or literal that is the view name.

QUAD

Minor word which indicates that the next parameter specifies one of the four possible quadrants or all four of the quadrants to be positive. The four quadrants are created by passing two imaginary axes through the ordinate dimension set origin, parallel to the X and Y axes. If this minor word is omitted, then the upper right quadrant (quadrant 1) is positive.

quad_no

Integer that specifies which quadrant is positive:

1 - upper right quadrant positive
2 - upper left quadrant positive
3 - lower right quadrant positive
4 - lower left quadrant positive
5 - all quadrants positive

ARROWS

Minor word which specifies that arrows should be used. If this minor word is not specified, no arrows are used. These arrows extend from the ordinate dimension set origin to the extension line for the dimension. They run parallel to and on top of the ordinate dimension margin to which the extension line is drawn.

NAME

Minor word which indicates that a string representing the name of the ordinate dimension set origin follows.

'name text'

String which specifies the name of the ordinate dimension set origin.

SYMBOL

Minor word indicating that a symbol type is to be specified.

symbol_no

Integer which represents the type of symbol display:

1 - display the name of the ordinate dimension set origin
2 - do not display the the name of the origin dimension set origin

IFERR,label:

Specifies a label to which program execution jumps if an error occurs.
