The dot product of two vectors and is provided (with the VDOT command) as:

(17–4)

The cross product of two vectors {A} and {B} is also provided (with the VCROSS command) as:

(17–5)

In both operations, the components of vectors {A} and {B} are transformed to global Cartesian coordinates before the calculations. The results of the cross product are also in global Cartesian coordinates.
