Coordinate System of a View

Synopsis

obj = CSYS/{view number|'view name'}{[,ORIGIN,{point|x,y,z}]|[,VCNTR]}

Description

Establishes a coordinate system by assuming the orientation of the coordinate system associated with a certain view. The system uses the saved version of the specified view to create the new coordinate system. If no origin is specified, its origin defaults to the absolute origin.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

view number

The numerical value which represents the number assigned to the view.

'view name'

The string which represents the name of the view.

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.

VCNTR

Places the origin of the coordinate system at the view center.
