Options

• :TWO_PT - the direction is from the first point to the second point.
• :X - specifies a measurement in the X direction.
• :Y - specifies a measurement in the Y direction
• :Z - specifies a measurement in the Z direction.
• :NEG_X - specifies a measurement in the negative X direction.
• :NEG_Y - specifies a measurement in the negative Y direction.
• :NEG_Z - specifies a measurement in the negative Z direction.
• :U - specifies a measurement in the U direction.
• :V - specifies a measurement in the V direction.
• :W - specifies a measurement in the W direction.
• :NEG_U - specifies a measurement in the negative U direction.
• :NEG_V - specifies a measurement in the negative V direction.
• :NEG_W - specifies a measurement in the negative W direction.
• :VP_DIR - specifies a measurement in the direction normal to the specified viewport.
• :NEG_VP_DIR - specifies a measurement in the negative direction normal to the specified viewport.
• :FACE_NORMAL - specifies a measurement in a direction normal to the face you define.
• :NEG_FACE_NORMAL - specifies a measurement in the negative direction of a face you define.
• :EDGE_TANGENT - specifies a measurement tangential to a defined edge. You can either :REVERSE the direction of the edge, or :ACCEPT its current direction.
• :SURFACE_AXIS - specifies the desired cylinder, cone, or torus. You can either :REVERSE the direction of the surface, or :ACCEPT its current direction.
