LOC_CYLINDRICAL
Returns an array of three numbers that are the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) for a point equivalent to the cylindrical coordinates (r, , z) for the same point. Both sets of coordinates are relative to the global coordinate system origin and axes. The relationship between the coordinates is:
Format
