# Synopsis

PDX_MSGT picr_Axis2(long option, int model, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, double location[3], double axis[3], double ref_direction[3], MDA_PTR *axis2_ptr)

# Purpose

Create the PINT model Axis2 entity.

# Description

This function creates a PINT Axis2 entity for the given input data. The data provided must result in a valid definition. The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.

# Input

## option

### PICR_VALIDATE

Validate the entity fields

### PICR_NOVALIDATE

Do not validate the entity fields

## model

PINT model for entity creation

## orig_db_ptr

The original entities orig_db_ptr as obtained from the mda_GetOrigDbptr call, or MDA_NULL_PTR

## location

Array of doubles defining location of axis

## axis

Array of doubles defining direction of axis

## ref_direction

Array of doubles defining normal from axis

# Output

## axis2_ptr

The PINT model pointer

# Return

          Low level error return
