Syntax

BPOINT arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5 arg6 arg7 arg8

Description

A boundary point is added to the boundary line.

Arguments

Minimum number: 3

arg1

Value	unit	Meaning
ip	INT	Boundary point number; currently no further meaning

arg2

Value	unit	Meaning
LSECT	KEYWORD	Boundary point defined by a point of intersection of two parametric lines
POINT	KEYWORD	Boundary point defined by a parametric point

arg3 - arg4 (arg2 = LSECT)

Value	unit	Meaning
line1[:i]	TEXT	Name of the 1st reference line of the point of intersection; the optional suffix ":1" or ":2" determines the number of the point of intersection if an arc is part of the intersection. As there can be up to two points of intersection, one of the two must be determined. This can be on either the first or second clipping line.
line2[:i]	TEXT	Name of the 2nd reference line of the point of intersection; the optional suffix ":1" or ":2" determines the number of the point of intersection if an arc is part of the intersection. As there can be up to two points of intersection, one of the two must be determined. This can be on either the first or second clipping line.

arg5 (arg2 = LSECT)

Value	unit	Meaning
RADSYMM	KEYWORD	Symmetrical fillet, radius follows as next argument
RADNEXT	KEYWORD	Fillet of the segment adjoining the point, radius follows as next argument
LINSYMM	KEYWORD	Symmetrical chamfer, chamfer length follows as next argument
LINHORIZ	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, horizontal chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINVERT	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, vertical chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINEDGE	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, tangential chamfer length follows as the next argument
RADLINE1	KEYWORD	Fillet of the segment adjacent to the point; no further argument necessary, as the fillet is defined by the first line of the point of intersection.

arg6 (arg2 = LSECT AND arg5 != RADLINE1)

Value	unit	Meaning
radius	LCROSSD	Radius of the fillet (arg5 = RADSYMM or arg5 = RADNEXT)
rvar	TEXT	Radius by reference to a type LENGTH variable (arg5 = RADSYMM or arg5 = RADNEXT)
chamfer	LCROSSD	Chamfer length (arg5 = LINSYMM, LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)
fvar	TEXT	Chamfer length by reference to a type LENGTH variable (arg5 = LINSYMM, LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)

arg7 (arg5 = LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)

Value	unit	Meaning
LINHORIZ	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, horizontal chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINVERT	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, vertical chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINEDGE	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, tangential chamfer length follows as the next argument

arg8 (arg7 = LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)

Value	unit	Meaning
chamfer	LCROSSD	Chamfer length
fvar	TEXT	Chamfer length by reference to a type LENGTH variable

arg3 (arg2 = POINT)

Value	unit	Meaning
pname	TEXT	Name of the parametric point

arg4 (arg2 = POINT)

Value	unit	Meaning
RADSYMM	KEYWORD	Symmetrical fillet, radius follows as next argument
RADNEXT	KEYWORD	Fillet of the segment adjoining the point, radius follows as next argument
LINSYMM	KEYWORD	Symmetrical chamfer, chamfer length follows as next argument
LINHORIZ	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, horizontal chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINVERT	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, vertical chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINEDGE	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, tangential chamfer length follows as the next argument

arg5 (arg2 = POINT)

Value	unit	Meaning
radius	LCROSSD	Radius of the fillet (arg4 = RADSYMM or arg4 = RADNEXT)
rvar	TEXT	Radius by reference to a type LENGTH variable (arg4 = RADSYMM or arg4 = RADNEXT)
chamfer	LCROSSD	Chamfer length (arg4 = LINSYMM, LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)
fvar	TEXT	Chamfer length by reference to a type LENGTH variable (arg4 = LINSYMM, LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)

arg6 (arg4 = LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)

Value	unit	Meaning
LINHORIZ	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, horizontal chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINVERT	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, vertical chamfer length follows as the next argument
LINEDGE	KEYWORD	Asymmetrical chamfer, tangential chamfer length follows as the next argument

arg7 (arg6 = LINHORIZ, LINVERT, LINEDGE)

BOUNDARY/POINTS

Examples

BPOINT 2 LSECT "L2" "L3" RADSYMM 0.40000

The 2nd point on the boundary line is indicated by the intersection of lines "L2" and "L3" here. This point is rounded off symmetrically with a radius of 0.4 here.

BPOINT 9 LSECT "L5" "L9" LINEDGE 0.04000 LINEDGE 0.04500

The 9th point on the boundary line is indicated by the intersection of lines "L5" and "L9" here. This point is asymmetrically chamfered with a chamfer of 0.04 ahead of the point and a chamfer of 0.45 behind it.

BPOINT 2 LSECT "ArcM3:1" "ArcM16l" RADLINE1

The 2nd point on the boundary line is indicated by the intersection of the arcs "ArcM3" and "ArcM16l" here. The boundary line segment starting on the 2nd point is rounded off and follows the arc "ArcM3" along with its radius. The specified suffix ":1" sets out the point of intersection as 2 points of intersection are possible. The first point of intersection in the definition direction of the first arc was selected.
