Variables use shortcut key V.

Implicit definition of variables by function VAL():
  Example: VAL(P20 P21)  - the distance between 2 points.

Variables are temporarily displayed as horzontal lines;
  the length indicates the value.



  

V Variable - Value

V - variable value Direct allocation of a variable With Pageup / Page Down key a defined variable.

V X/Y/Z-part PT|VC

get the X- or Y- or Z-part of a point or of a Vector. # extract the x-coordinate of a point V20 = X(P20)

V PT-PT Dist.[Direction]

Variable = length between 2 points [into direction] [Direction] optional; keine Angabe: direct length between 2 points. Distance along a vector: define a vector Example: V20 = P20 P21 # distance from point P20 to point P21 into direction Z: V21=P20 P21 DZ

V LN length

V LN Length Variable = length of a Distance V20 = L20

V PT - LN Perp.Dist

PT-V LN normal distance Variable = Normal distance of a point from a distance V20 = P20 L20

V CIR Radius

Variable = radius of a circle V20 = C20
