There are four options for defining the (origin). Some of the statements have several fields, separated by commas. You should be careful to use all of the commas in the required manner. You must replace the word (origin) with the complete statement.
For example, the four options would be added to the LABEL statement in the following manner:
Parameter |
Complete Statement |
x,y |
LABEL/LEFT,x,y,x,y,text |
point |
LABEL/LEFT,point,point,text |
DELTA, |
LABEL/LEFT,DELTA,point,dx,dy,DELTA,point,dx,dy,text |
DELCH, |
LABEL/LEFT,DELCH,point,dx,dy,DELCHpoint,
dx,dy,text |
These parameters are explained as follows:
Parameter |
Detail Description |
x,y |
The x and y values of the work coordinate system. |
point |
A previously defined point of which only the X and Y coordinates are used. |
DELTA, |
The DELTA format positions the text at an offset distance from a previously defined point or from the origin of an existing drafting object. The offset distances are in unit values with respect to the work coordinate system. point - A previously defined point from which the offset is measured. draft - An existing drafting object from whose origin the offset is measured. dx,dy - The required offset distances in the respective X and Y directions of the work coordinate system. |
Parameter |
Detail Description |
DELCH, |
The DELCH format positions the text at an offset distance from a previously defined point or from the origin of an existing drafting object. the offset distances are in multiples of the current character size with respect to the work coordinate system. point - A previously defined point from which the offset is measured. draft - An existing drafting object from whose origin the offset is measured. dx,dy - The required number of character sizes to be offset in the respective X and Y directions of the work coordinate system. For example, if the correct character size is .125 and dx and dy are 10 and -10 respectively, the offset distances would be 1.25 in the X direction and -1.25 in the Y direction. |
