Command: axes

Syntax

axes { <window> }

Description

Define local modeling axes for a window.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier. The window must be a graphic window. If omitted, the current graphic window is used.

Switches

• -x=<direction>
  The new x axis.

• -y=<direction>
  The new y axis.

• -z=<direction>
  The new z axis.

Notes

If <window> is not currently in use, or is not a graphic window, no action is taken.

Omitting all switches will revert to the default axis system, i.e. -x=e, -y=n.

All direction phrases are computed relative to the global 3-D origin in the current axis system for the window.

Appropriate values for relevant axes which are not specified will be supplied automatically.

Examples

In this example, Y axis will be w&n, Z axis will be u.

axes win1, -x=e&n

Here, Y axis will be u.

axes my_win, -x=n, -z=e
