NEWT/T-DEPL: "Error in chord input. Keyword is invalid."

[A.S.M. Fakhrul Islam]

Hi,

I am trying to run the code included below and get this error message: "Error in chord input. Keyword is invalid."

I can get the code to work in a very convoluted way. I was wondering if there is a simple fix for the code below. Thank you!

Hi, 

The chord specification requires a '+x'

cylinder 20 8.9 chord +x=5

I was expecting to see this highlighted when editing in Fulcrum, but it appears Fulcrum does not distinguish between 'x' and '+x'. This is a minor discrepancy that I will capture for the development team.

The SCALE manual states in section 9.2.3.6.1.11 Chord:
 

The four possible chord specifications for a body are as follows:

chord +x=xplane 

chord +y=yplane 

chord -x=xplane 

chord -y=yplane    

Best regards,

I was at a loss, but this looks like an oversight on my end. Thank you for pointing this out!
