Coordinate System of an Arc

Synopsis

obj = CSYS/arc[,ORIGIN,{point|x,y,z}]

Description

Establishes a coordinate system by assuming the coordinate system of the existing arc. The default origin is at the center of the arc, and the X and Y axes lie in the plane of the arc. The positive and negative directions of the axes depend on the coordinate system at the time the arc was created and/or any transformations which may have taken place.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

arc

An existing arc which establishes the orientation of the coordinate system. If no origin parameter is specified, the coordinate system origin is at the center of the circle.

ORIGIN

Minor word which indicates that the point in the next field is the coordinate system origin.

point

An existing point which establishes the coordinate system origin.

x,y,z

The x, y, and z coordinates where you want to place the coordinate system origin.
