ADC(nged)

💅 ADC(nged) — the angle/distance cursor command, bestie edition ✨

okay so real quick, this page lives in the BRL-CAD User Commands manual section (that's the (nged) in the name, iykyk) — and it's literally all about the angle/distance cursor. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

adc — this command controls the angle/distance cursor. that's it, that's the vibe 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

adc [-i] subcommand

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so adc controls the angle/distance cursor (the ADC, main character of the page 💅). run adc with no arguments and it just toggles the display of the ADC on and off — no notes, no extra drama ✨.

the -i option: if you specify it, the value(s) you give get treated as increments. and here's the thing — -i is ignored when you're getting values, or when it's used with subcommands where this option makes no sense. like it's just not that girl in those situations 🙈.

you can also control the position, angles, and radius of the ADC using a knob or the knob command. slay, options 🫶.

this command accepts the following subcommands:

• vars — returns a list of all ADC variables and their values (i.e. var = val).
• draw [0|1] — set or get the draw parameter.
• a1 [angle] — set or get angle1, in degrees. 📐
• a2 [angle] — set or get angle2, in degrees.
• dist [distance] — set or get the radius (distance) of the tick, in local units.
• odist [distance] — set or get the radius (distance) of the tick (+-2047).
• hv [position] — set or get position (grid coordinates and local units).
• xyz [position] — set or get position (model coordinates and local units).
• x [xpos] — set or get horizontal position (+-2047).
• y [ypos] — set or get vertical position (+-2047).
• dh distance — add to horizontal position (grid coordinates and local units).
• dv distance — add to vertical position (grid coordinates and local units).
• dx distance — add to x position (model coordinates and local units).
• dy distance — add to y position (model coordinates and local units).
• dz distance — add to z position (model coordinates and local units).
• anchor_pos [0|1] — anchor the ADC to the current position in model coordinates.
• anchor_a1 [0|1] — anchor angle1 to go through anchorpoint_a1.
• anchor_a2 [0|1] — anchor angle2 to go through anchorpoint_a2.
• anchor_dst [0|1] — anchor the tick distance to go through anchorpoint_dst.
• anchorpoint_a1[x y z] — set or get the anchor point for angle1 (model coordinates and local units).
• anchorpoint_a2 [x y z] — set or get the anchor point for angle2 (model coordinates and local units).
• anchorpoint_dst [x y z] — set or get the anchor point for tick distance (model coordinates and local units).
• reset — reset all values to their defaults. fresh start energy 🌈
• help — print the help message. bestie behavior fr fr 🫶

    Sets angle1 to 37.5 degrees.

mged> adc a1 37.5
    Gets angle1.

mged> adc xyz 100 0 0
    Moves ADC position to (100,0,0), model coordinates and local units.

💀 BUG REPORTS 💀

found a bug or a problem? not the vibe, but ok — reports of bugs or problems should be submitted via electronic mail to devs@brlcad.org. they'll handle it ✨

ngl, that's the whole page — every flag, every subcommand, every +-2047, every anchor point, all of it. no cap 🧚‍♀️

and that's a wrap, bestie — this was ADC(nged) from the BRL-CAD crew (page dated with the BRL-CAD footer, version tag ADC(nged)), and you absolutely ate that read 💅🎀💖
