add +Y and –Y in "Set North Direction" - 10/19/17 02:28 AM

Dear Sir,

When we use External Interfaces and choice Import PCF in CAESAR II 2018,
We can Set North Direction. But it just -X,+X,+Z,-Z can select.
Because when we New Job Z-Axis Vertical, and the north direction
will need to select from -X,+X,+Y,-Y. So would you please add +Y and –Y
for us to select. Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Awei

Awei,

It seems that you are using PCF interface from CAESAR II main menu. You have to set the Z-axis up in the configuration module. That will tell the software that your vertical axis is 'Z', then you will get -X,+X,+Y,-Y options for North arrow. So, check the configuration option and let us know.

I am curious, have you tried the PCF import in the Piping input module. It is under Environment menu -> APCF.

It is good to see that you using the North arrow mapping.

Dear Mr Singh,
Sorry for too late to see your answer.
So I need to set the Z-axis first, and the North arrow can change to +Y or -Y.
Thank you very much.
