LTRAN, KCNTO, NL1, NL2, NINC, KINC, NOELEM, IMOVE
Transfers a pattern of lines to another coordinate system.
KCNTOReference number of coordinate system where the pattern is
to be transferred. Transfer occurs from the active coordinate system. The
coordinate system type and parameters of KCNTO must
be the same as the active system.
NL1, NL2, NINCTransfer lines from pattern beginning with NL1 to NL2 (defaults
to NL1) in steps of NINC (defaults
to 1). If NL1 = ALL, NL2 and NINC are
ignored and pattern is all selected lines [LSEL]. If NL1 =
P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored
(valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NL1 (NL2 and NINC are ignored).
KINCKeypoint increment between sets. If zero, the lowest available keypoint numbers are assigned [NUMSTR].
NOELEMSpecifies whether nodes and elements are also to be generated:
0 | — | Generate nodes and elements associated with the original lines, if they exist. |
1 | — | Do not generate nodes and elements. |
IMOVESpecifies whether lines will be moved or newly defined:
0 | — | Generate additional lines. |
1 | — | Move original lines to new position
retaining the same keypoint numbers ( |
Transfers a pattern of lines (and their corresponding keypoints and mesh) from one coordinate system to another (see analogous node transfer command, TRANSFER). The MAT, TYPE, REAL, and ESYS attributes are based upon the lines in the pattern and not upon the current settings. Coordinate systems may be translated and rotated relative to each other. Initial pattern may be generated in any coordinate system. However, solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended. Coordinate and slope values are interpreted in the active coordinate system and are transferred directly. Lines are generated as described in the LGEN command.
