Principal Plane

Synopsis

obj = PLANE/{XYPLAN[,Z-coord]|YZPLAN[,X-coord]|XZPLAN[,Y-coord]}[,csys]

Description

Creates a plane object parallel to one of the principal planes (XY, YZ, or ZX) of the work coordinate system, or a specified, previously defined coordinate system. You may specify an offset distance from the desired principal plane. If no offset is specified, the plane is created in the desired principal plane.

The plane object is displayed at (or parallel to) the origin of the specified coordinate system. The default coordinate system is the WCS, therefore the plane is created on the specified principal plane if the csys option is omitted.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

XYPLAN,YZPLAN,XZPLAN

The principal planes of the work coordinate system or of a previously defined coordinate system.

Z-coord,X-coord,Y-coord

Coordinate values along the axis normal to the respective principal plane.

csys

A previously defined coordinate system which is used instead of the work coordinate system.

Parameter	Description
XYPLAN,YZPLAN,XZPLAN	The principal planes of the work coordinate system or of a previously defined coordinate system.
Z-coord,X-coord,Y-coord	Coordinate values along the axis normal to the respective principal plane.
csys	A previously defined coordinate system which is used instead of the work coordinate system.
