Point on an object
(point_pointonelement)


Result (point)

Parameter Name
Type
Description
abs_or_rel
abs_or_rel

Location of the point on the object (only in the case of mirrored circles or ellipses):

  • absolute: The point is located independent of the mirroring.
    The mirroring is not considered for creating the point. The location will be calculated from the absolute starting point.
  • relative: The point is located dependent on the mirroring.
    The point will be created at the same position as a mirrored one. Starting point and direction will be mirrored too.

Reference object

li
line

Line L

ci
circle

Circle / arc K

el
ellips

Ellipse / elliptical arc E

co
contour

Contour C

s

Selection parameter to determine the points definition:
Via length, proportion or angle

le
length

Length l on the object
If the value of l is bigger then the length of the reference object the remaining length is measured from the start point. So the point is located in any case on the object.

pr
prop

Proportion P on the object

an
angle

Angle W on the object

The action generates a point on an object.

Note: Please take respect to the direction of mirrored objects dependent on the parameter abs_or_rel.

Restriction: No point can be created by angle on the object types line and contour.
