Description

The VectorTool System command is used to add, modify and delete System geometry components and templates.

For a component object the <ParentObject> is a truncated object path or a Central Body path.

For a template the <ParentObject> is an STK class name, and the SystemTemplate keyword must be entered.

The System component type is not valid for Star objects.

The following table provides a description of {Action} values and the applicable parameters. Labels for the X and Y axis can be optionally be entered for all System types.

{Action}	Parameters	Description
Create	{SystemType} [<SystemTypeParams>]	<SystemTypeParams> are optional, except where noted below. If no <SystemTypeParams> are specified, default values are used.
Modify	{SystemType} <SystemTypeParams>	The values <SystemName> {SystemType} must define an existing System component or template. The {SystemType} can not be modified. <SystemTypeParams> are required.
Delete	N/A	Delete the component or template identified by <SystemName>

The following table describes each System type and its parameters.

{SystemType}	<SystemTypeParams>
"Surface"	<CentralBodyName> <ClockAngle> <Lat> <Lon> <Altitude> [{UseMSLOn \| UseMSLOff}] <ClockAngle>, <Lat> and <Lon> are entered in degrees. <ClockAngle> is between 0.0 and 360. <Altitude> is entered in Connect distance units.
"Assembled"	"<Point>" "<ReferenceAxes>"

{SystemType}

"Surface"

<CentralBodyName> <ClockAngle> <Lat> <Lon> <Altitude> [{UseMSLOn | UseMSLOff}]

<ClockAngle>, <Lat> and <Lon> are entered in degrees.

<ClockAngle> is between 0.0 and 360.

<Altitude> is entered in Connect distance units.

"Assembled"

"<Point>" "<ReferenceAxes>"

For details on the format of a reference component (e.g. "<Point>", "<ReferenceAxes>", etc) see Component Specification.

When specifying a reference component or template in the Create or Modify commands the {ComponentType} is implied based on the {SystemType} being created or modified and the {ComponentType} need not be entered. In the first example below, "Satellite/ScenTestSat Body Axes" is entered as "Satellite/ScenTestSat Body", since the command is expecting a axes.
