Problem Topic
TRANS/XORIG: Clarification text
Problem Description
Page 120, line starting with "XORIG":
This line reads: "XORIG signifies that the coordinate system origin is to be translated on the X axis if a value is given..."
It is not made clear which X axis is intended. The intended axis might be the X axis of the current coordinate system or it might be the X axis of MCS. The documentation should state explicitly which X axis is intended.
An entirely analogous problem exists for the Y and Z axes.
In the sentence following the one quoted above, it would be useful to specify the direction of translation explicitly also.

Suggested Resolution

the translation is intended to occur.

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
