Define a vector by: - Selection of a line or polygonsegment (also from inside CCV) - Selection of a Standardvector - select from the vectors shown in bottom-right corner - enter with the keyboard (DX or DY or DZ or opposite DIX DIY DIZ) - Selection of a defined Vector - by PageUp/PageDown-keys; - from ObjectBrowser (left) - enter with the keyboard (eg "D12") - enter a Vectors with the keyboard: - Cartesian (X/Y/Z-Components): eg "0 0 1" (a Z-Vector) - Polar (Angle): eg "ANG(45)" - Polar (rotation-angle, tilt-angle): eg "ANG(45) ANG(30)" - Normalvector of a circle or plane - Normalvector from 2 Objects (line or point or vector) - Normalvector from 3 points The last parameter can be "REV"; this gives the complementary-angle (eg 90 changes to to 270) The last but one parameter can be the vectorlength. Example: "DX 2.5" or "DX 2.5 REV" The output is eg "D(ANG(45) ANG(30) 2.5)" ____________________________________________________________________________
