Variables of the Point |
Scroll |
After a point is created, the variables of this point are automatically generated in the model.
Three of the variables of the point are informational. They correspond to the Cartesian coordinates of the point in the absolute coordinate system of the model. These variables are always created.
Point on the intersection, Point in the center and Projection point have only the aforesaid informational variables. Points created otherwise have variables other than informational ones. The contents of these variables are defined by the point plotting method (see the Table).

Variables |
|
By coordinates |
•X coordinate •Y coordinate •Z coordinate |
|
By moving relative to the reference point |
•X relative coordinate •Y relative coordinate •Z relative coordinate or •offset distance |
|
On Curve |
•offset value (offset value in %, or arc length, or central angle) •offset direction |
|
On Surface |
•U parameter value in % •V parameter value in % or •offset from the first flat object •offset from the second flat object or •X (or R) coordinate •Y (or A) coordinate |
|
Between vertices |
•offset value (offset value in %, or arc length, or central angle) •offset direction |
Working with variables and expressions is discussed in detail in section Working with Variables.
