KBETW
KBETW, KP1, KP2, KPNEW, Type, VALUE
Creates a keypoint between two existing keypoints.
KP1First keypoint. If
KP1= P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).KP2Second keypoint.
KPNEWNumber assigned to the new keypoint. Defaults to the lowest available keypoint number.
TypeType of input for
VALUE.RATIO
—
Value is the ratio of the distances between keypoints as follows: (
KP1-KPNEW)/(KP1-KP2).DIST
—
Value is the absolute distance between
KP1andKPNEW(valid only if current coordinate system is Cartesian).VALUELocation of new keypoint, as defined by
Type(defaults to 0.5). IfVALUEis a ratio (Type= RATIO) and is less than 0 or greater than 1, the keypoint is created on the extended line. Similarly, ifVALUEis a distance (Type= DIST) and is less than 0 or greater than the distance betweenKP1andKP2, the keypoint is created on the extended line.
Notes
Placement of the new keypoint depends on the currently active coordinate system
(CSYS). If the coordinate system is Cartesian, the keypoint will lie on a
straight line between KP1 and KP2. If the
system is not Cartesian (for example, cylindrical, spherical, etc.), the keypoint will be located
as if on a line (which may not be straight) created in the current coordinate system between
KP1 and KP2. Note that solid modeling in a
toroidal coordinate system is not recommended.
