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:
•
Rotation about the z-axis starting from the x-axis. The positive or negative sense of the rotation is defined by the right-hand rule. In the following illustration, the LOC_CYLINDRICAL function returns an array of three numbers that are the Cartesian coordinates for a point.
