Command Overview
Generates a connection string between a 3D point and any points on a string which produce a predesignated angle, if possible.
Command steps:
-
Load your landmark point and string data. The point data represents the start of the connection string to be created, and the loaded string the destination.
-
Run the connection-on-grade command.
-
Specify the gradient of the new connecting string in degrees, to be formed between the initial point and the selected string, by entering a numeric (positive or negative) numeric value into the Gradient of Strings (degrees) field.
-
Click OK.
A connection string is formed between the original point and destination string if such a connection is possible.
The units and up/down convention can be modified with the set-gradient-convention command.
