Options

• :TWO_PTA - the axis point is the first point; the axis direction is the vector from the first point to the second point.
• :X - the axis point is the global origin; the axis direction is in the X direction.
• :Y - the axis point is the global origin; the axis direction is in the Y direction.
• :Z - the axis point is the global origin; the axis direction is in the Z direction.
• :NEG_X - the axis point is the global origin; the axis direction is in the negative X direction.
• :NEG_Y - the axis point is the global origin; the axis direction is in the negative Y direction.
• :NEG_Z - the axis point is the global origin; the axis direction is in the negative Z direction.
• :U - the axis point is the workplane origin; the axis direction is in the workplane U direction.
• :V - the axis point is the workplane origin; the axis direction is in the workplane V direction.
• :W - the axis point is the workplane origin; the axis direction is in the workplane W direction.
• :NEG_U - the axis point is the workplane origin; the axis direction is in the negative workplane U direction.
• :NEG_V - the axis point is the workplane origin; the axis direction is in the negative workplane V direction.
• :NEG_W - the axis point is the workplane origin; the axis direction is in the negative workplane W direction.
• :HORIZ - the axis point is the specified point on a workplane; the axis direction is in the workplane U direction.
• :NEG_HORIZ - the axis point is the specified point on a workplane; the axis direction is in the negative workplane U direction.
• :VERT - the axis point is the specified point on a workplane; the axis direction is in the workplane V direction.
• :NEG_VERT - the axis point is the specified point on a workplane; the axis direction is in the negative workplane V direction.
• :FACE_NORMAL - the axis point is the point picked; the axis direction is the face normal at the picked point.
• :NEG_FACE_NORMAL - the axis point is the point picked; the axis direction is the negative face normal at the picked point.
• :EDGE_TANGENT - the axis point is the point picked; the axis specifies a measurement tangential to a defined edge. You can either :REVERSE the direction of the edge, or :ACCEPT its current direction.
• :SURFACE_AXIS - the axis point is the point picked; the axis direction is the same as the axis of rotation for the picked cylinder, cone, or torus. You can either :REVERSE the direction or :ACCEPT its current direction.
• :REF_WP - specifies a reference workplane.
