Parent page: PCB Query Functions - Fields

Summary

Returns all 3D body objects whose Model Z property complies with the Query.

The Model Z property corresponds to the Standoff Height field in the 3D Body dialog.

Syntax

ModelZ : Number

Number will follow the measurement units currently employed for the document – either Imperial (mil; 1mil = 0.001inch) or Metric (mm; 1mm = 0.001meter).

A specific option for the measurement unit can be specified – overriding the default units specified at the document level – through use of an additional measurement unit-based keyword:

  • AsMils(ModelZ) : Number – to specify a height in mil.
  • AsMM(ModelZ) : Number – to specify a height in mm.

Example Usage

ModelZ = 30
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is equal to 30 current measurement units.

ModelZ >= 5.08
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is greater than or equal to 5.08 current measurement units.

AsMils(ModelZ) > 40
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is greater than 40mil.

AsMM(ModelZ) Between 0.35 And 0.89
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is greater than or equal to 0.35mm and less than or equal to 0.89mm.

ModelZ <> 55
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is not equal to 55 current measurement units.

AsMils(ModelZ) <= 65
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is less than or equal to 65mil.

AsMM(ModelZ) < 0.43
Returns all 3D body objects that have a Model Z property which is less than 0.43mm.

Tips

  1. The Model Z property is only defined for 3D body objects.
