Reads and plots the x-axis of the element (material) coordinate system for selected elements.

Inputs

markmask
Determines the selected elements.
onlyorient
If onlyorient = 1, the new x-element directions are displayed as vectors starting from the element center.
If onlyorient = 0, the new x-element directions are shown as continuous gradient lines starting and ending on free edges.
normal_size
If onlyorient = 1, it determines the size of the vectors to be displayed.

*createmark(elements,2) 304 305 316 1841

*reviewsystem(2,1,3,7)

*vectorsoff()

The *createmark() and *vectorsoff() commands are required.
