LOC_CYLINDRICAL
Returns an array of three numbers that are the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) for a point equivalent to the cylindrical coordinates (r, 
, z) for the same point. Both sets of coordinates are relative to the global coordinate system origin and axes. The relationship between the coordinates is:
, z) for the same point. Both sets of coordinates are relative to the global coordinate system origin and axes. The relationship between the coordinates is:■x = r cos 
■y = r sin 
■z = z
Format
LOC_CYLINDRICAL (R, Theta, Z)
Arguments
R | The radius of the circle on which the point lies. |
Theta (  ) | Rotation about the z-axis starting from the x-axis. The positive or negative sense of the rotation is defined by the right-hand rule. |
Z | Distance along the global z-axis. |
Example
In the following illustration, the LOC_CYLINDRICAL function returns an array of three numbers that are the Cartesian coordinates for a point.
Function | LOC_CYLINDRICAL(1,30,0) |
Result | 0.866, 0.5, 0 |
Note: | Assumes that the default for angular displacement units is degrees. |
