*morphconstraintcreateline
Creates a line type morphconstraint for the selected nodes with the option of having those nodes either move along the line or be bounded by it.

Description
This command creates a line type morphconstraint for the selected nodes with the option of having those nodes either move along the line or be bounded by it.
Inputs
- ntype
- Must be set to nodes.
- nmark
- The ID of the mark for the constrained nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- type
- 0 - Moves along the line
- name
- The name of morph constraint.
- vec
- The ID of the vector created using *createvector. Must be set to 1.
- line
- The ID of the line.
- dist
- The minimum distance from the bounding line.
- ivec
- 0 - The line normal is used for distance and projection. The nodes will be moved normally to the line when constraining them or measuring the distance the nodes are away from the line.
- color
- The color of the constraint. Valid values are 1 through 64.
Example
To create a morphconstraint for nodes to move along a line and projected normally to the line:
*createmark nodes 1 1 2 3 4 5
*createvector 1 1.0 0.0 0.0
*morphconstraintcreateline nodes 1 0 "line" 1 12 0.0 0 32
