*SetPoint() - symmetric point pair

Sets the coordinates for a symmetric point pair.

Syntax

*SetPoint(point_name, LEFT|RIGHT, x, y, z)

Arguments

point_name: The variable name of an existing point pair.; Data type: varname
LEFT RIGHT: If LEFT is specified, the coordinates are assigned to the left point, and the right point coordinates are made symmetric to the left point.; If RIGHT is specified, the coordinates are assigned to the right point, and the left point coordinates are made symmetric to the right point.
x, y, z: The X, Y, and Z coordinates of the point specified by the LEFT or RIGHT value.; Data type: real

Example

*PointPair(p_shk_upr_bush_ax, "Shk upr bush ax")
*PointPair(p_shk_lwr_bush_ax, "Shk lwr bush ax")
*SetPoint(p_shk_upr_bush_ax, LEFT, 
 
p_shk_upr_bush.l.x + 100, 
p_shk_upr_bush.l.y, 
p_shk_upr_bush.l.z)
*SetPoint(p_shk_lwr_bush_ax, LEFT, 
p_shk_lwr_bush.l.x + 100, 
 
 p_shk_lwr_bush.l.y, 
 
 p_shk_lwr_bush.l.z)

Comments

The symmetry is applied about the global XZ plane only.
