Description
Examples
SensedMagnitude(A, B)
A, B
-
two points
The routine computes the SensedMagnitude between two points A and B.
The sign of the sensed magnitude is determined by the relative position of the points.
Horizontal Coordinate
Vertical Coordinate
Sign of Sensed Magnitude
A is to the left of B
N/A
positive
B is to the left of A
negative
Horizontal coordinates are the same
A is below B
B is below A
The command with(geometry,SensedMagnitude) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
