I have added several Franz primitives. At the end we have the new
especification.

there are a web with this kind of things in STEP???

The point definitions are not clear to me.
I understand the simple constructions like P(x, y, z) but the
construction P2=P1, D1 is unclear.
D1 is a vector so it must be something as P2=P1+D1, the vector D1
starts at P1 and P2 is the point where the vector ends.
What is the meaning of the ',' in the expression P2=P1, D1?
Also P2=P1-D1 can exist, how is this expressed?
The same for P2=P1, D1, distance, i think this is something like
P2=P1+s.D1, s is a scalar.
And sometimes the ',' is omitted, how must the space between the
operands be interpreted?
I have a feeling some information is missing.
In the expression P11=R1 P10 i think a transformation of p10 from a
ucs to wcs is ment, i am missing the information how transformations
are constructed, does P11=R1 P10 mean the same as P11=P10 R1?
Do we need some kind of "formal" description of our format or is
something like that available?

correct

the ',' as well as one blank as well as ',' plus one ore several blanks serves
as a word-delimiter, nothing else.
We should clearify that in the general format description.
Lowercase characters are translated into uppercase (exception: filenames).

For objects there is no sign possible till now; you could use:
P2=P1 D(D20 REV)
# this creates a dynamic vector opposite (REVers) to D20.

usually you cannot change the sequence of the parameters;
the scanner analyzes: outputObj=inputObj's and must find the correct operation
for this given parameters.
Transformations have 'T'
# translate with vector:
T1=D(10 0 0)
P2=TRA P1 T1
# same as P2=P1 D(10 0 0)
# define rotation: around axis(point vector) angle(deg.)
T2=ROT L(P1 DZ) ANG(30)
# rotate point p2
P3=TRA P2 T2
# translate between 2 coordinate systems:
# from wcs to ucs:
P1=P(10 0 0)
R20=PERP P(25 0 0) DZ DX
P2=TRA P1 R20
# absolut 35,0,0
# from ucs to wcs:
# create ucs (interact: PLN PT Z-Axis X-Axis)
R20=PERP P(25 0 0) DZ DX
# activate it
R20
# create point 10,0,0 in ucs; absolut in 35,0,0
P20=X(10)
# copy P20 > wcs (interact: Transl.obj(PLN))
P21=TRA P20 R20 REV
# this creates the inverse-matrix of R20 and transforms P20.
# the result is in wcs (10,0,0)
not easy to explain for me in english ..
