NOTE: If you want to create a cylindrical centerline with no offset,
you still need to use the OFFDST minor word, and set num to zero.Overview | Statement List | Example 1 | Example 2
There are two formats for this statement:
Format 1
obj = CLINE/OFFCYL,OFFDST,num,obj1,[VIEW,'View Name',]obj2[,VIEW,'View Name']
Format 2
obj = CLINE/OFFCYL,OFFPT,obj1,[VIEW,'View Name',]obj2,[VIEW,'View Name',]obj3[,VIEW,'View Name']
Creates a cylindrical centerline object that may be offset from its true location. There are two different methods to define the offset: offset by specifying a point position, or by specifying an offset distance. The offset cylindrical centerline lies in the X-Y plane of the work coordinate system.

Parameter |
Description |
|
OFFCYL |
Minor word that causes a cylindrical centerline to be created. This may or may not be an offset cylindrical centerline. |
|
OFFDST |
Minor word to indicate that the cylindrical centerline is offset by a specified offset distance, num. |
|
OFFPT |
Minor word to indicate that the cylindrical centerline is offset by a distance that is calculated from the true location to a specified point position. The point position is the location of a previously defined object, obj1. |
|
num |
A real number variable which is the specified offset distance. This is only used with the minor word OFFDST. (See Figure 1-14) |
obj = CLINE/OFFCYL,OFFDST,num,obj1,[VIEW,'View Name',]obj2[,VIEW,'View Name']
In this format, obj1 and obj2 can be points or arcs. They are the associated positions used to define the cylindrical centerline. In other words, the cylindrical centerline is drawn between obj1 and obj2; obj1 being the start position, and obj2 the end position. (See Figure 1-14)
NOTE: If you want to create a cylindrical centerline with no offset,
you still need to use the OFFDST minor word, and set num to zero.
Cylindrical Centerline with an Offset Distance Created Using OFFDST
obj = CLINE/OFFCYL,OFFPT,obj1,[VIEW,'View Name',]obj2,[VIEW,'View Name',]obj3[,VIEW,'View Name']
In this format, obj1 must be a point or an arc object. It defines the point position used for calculating the offset distance value. If obj1 is an arc object, the position used for calculation is the arc center. obj2 and obj3 must be either points or arcs. They are the associated positions used to define the cylindrical centerline. In other words, the cylindrical centerline is drawn between obj2 and obj3; obj2 being the start position, and obj3 the end position.
