DSYS
DSYS, KCN
Activates a display coordinate system for geometry listings and
plots.
KCNCoordinate system reference number.
KCNmay be 0,1,2 or any previously defined local coordinate system number.Note: If a cylinder is displayed in its cylindrical coordinate system (with a 1,0,0 view), it will be unrolled (developed) into a flat plane (with theta along the Y direction).
Notes
Boundary condition symbols, vector arrows, and element coordinate system triads are not transformed to the display coordinate system. The display system orientation (for the default view) is X horizontal to the right, Y vertical upward, and Z out of the screen (normal).
Line directions and area directions (/PSYMB,LDIR and
/PSYMB,ADIR) are not plotted for KCN >0.
When you create 3D annotation, the coordinates are stored to the database in the display coordinate system that was active at the time of creation. Changing the display coordinate system does not change the annotation coordinate data in the database.
This command is valid in any processor.
