obj = POINT/point,VECT,line"PMOD3",dist
Creates a point offset from previously defined point along a three dimensional vector at a specified distance. The vector is specified in the form of a previously defined line. A positional modifier is used to specify the direction along the line the distance should be measured. The positional modifier is used to determine what direction the point is offset in at the given positive distance. The distance is not used to determine the direction of the offset. To create two offset points one in the positive direction and one in the negative, then the _LARGE and _SMALL modifiers need to be specified in two separate commands.
Parameter |
Description |
point |
A previously defined point from which the new point is established. |
VECT |
Minor word that indicates that the new point is established at a specified distance along a vector which is parallel to a line. |
line |
An existing line to which the vector is parallel. |
A three dimensional positional modifier which indicates which end of the object to use. The direction is in reference to the work coordinate system. | |
dist |
The distance, along the vector, from the previously defined point. |
