Parallel/Perp to a Line, Tangent to a Curve

Synopsis

obj = LINE/{PARLEL|PERPTO},line,{"PMOD3"|point},TANTO,curve

Description

Creates a line parallel or perpendicular to a previously defined line which is tangent to a previously defined curve.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

PARLEL

Minor word that indicates that the new line is parallel to an existing line.

PERPTO

Minor word that indicates that the new line is perpendicular to an existing line.

line

An existing line to which the new line is parallel or perpendicular.

PMOD3

The positional modifier PMOD3 may be used to establish the side of the existing curve, with respect to the work coordinate system, to which the new line is tangent.

point

A previously defined point may be used in place of the positional modifier to approximate the point of tangency.

TANTO

Minor word that indicates that the new line is made tangent to an existing curve.

curve

An existing curve to which the new line is tangent.
