CSWPLA
CSWPLA, KCN
, KCS
, PAR1
, PAR2
Defines a local coordinate system at the origin of the working
plane.
KCN
Arbitrary reference number assigned to this coordinate system. Must be greater than 10. A coordinate system previously defined with this number will be redefined.
KCS
Coordinate system type:
0 or CART
—
Cartesian
1 or CYLIN
—
Cylindrical (circular or elliptical)
2 or SPHE
—
Spherical (or spheroidal)
3 or TORO
—
Toroidal
PAR1
Used for elliptical, spheroidal, or toroidal systems. If
KCS
= 1 or 2,PAR1
is the ratio of the ellipse Y-axis radius to X-axis radius (defaults to 1.0 (circle)). IfKCS
= 3,PAR1
is the major radius of the torus.PAR2
Used for spheroidal systems. If
KCS
= 2,PAR2
= ratio of ellipse Z-axis radius to X-axis radius (defaults to 1.0 (circle)).
Notes
Defines and activates a local right-handed coordinate system centered at the origin of the working plane. The coordinate system's local x-y plane (for a Cartesian system) or R-θ plane (for a cylindrical or spherical system) corresponds to the working plane. This local system becomes the active coordinate system. See the CS, LOCAL, CLOCAL, and CSKP commands for alternate ways to define a local coordinate system. Local coordinate systems may be displayed with the /PSYMB command.
This command is valid in any processor.
