Dear Justin .
Thanks for your response. And yes of course google is best friend for all.
"distance" method requires Y/N, whereas the "direction" method requires
a vector."
But , "direction" method (where vector needs to define ) also gives the
same result
as we obtain the result in case of geometry define as "distance" (where we
do not define vector).
Just please tell me (in case of pull_geometry = direction) , what is the
difference between
following below two conditions.
pull_coord1_vec = 1 0 0
pull_coord1_dim = Y N N
&
pull_coord1_vec = 1 0 0
pull_coord1_dim = N N Y
and vector can be 0/1 or may be decimal number like 0.2 , 0.5 3tc.
Hoping for your precious response
