{Option}	<Parameters>	Description
Exists	[Template] "<ComponentSpec>"	Returns a 1 if the specified "<ComponentSpec>" exists, otherwise 0 will be returned. Use the Template keyword if the component is a template.
Details	[Template] "<ComponentSpec>" [IncludeDescriptions]	Returns information about the component in a single string with newline characters. Use the Template keyword if the component is a template. With the IncludeDescriptions keyword the component type description and user description, if available, will also be returned. Use the VectorTool_RM command to return information in a list of strings.
Status	"<ComponentSpec>"	Returns one of these strings Computed Computed, can not be cleared Cleared Can not be Computed The Status option is not valid for a template.
ConvertSystem	"<FromSystemSpec>" "<ToSystemSpec>" {TimeInstant} <x> <y> <z> [<xv> <yv> <zv>]	Convert a position/velocity from one system to another at the specified time instant. <x>, <y>, and <z> values are entered in Connect distance units. <xv>, <yv>, and <zv> values are optional and if entered are in Connect distance units / second.
ConvertAxes	"<FromAxesSpec>" "<ToAxesSpec>" {TimeInstant} <x> <y> <z> [<xv> <yv> <zv>]	Convert a position/velocity from one axes to another at the specified time instant. <x>, <y>, and <z> values are entered in Connect distance units. <xv>, <yv>, and <zv> values are optional and if entered are in Connect distance units / second.
