    Variables use shortcut key V.

    Implicit definition of variables by function VAL():
      Example: VAL(P20 P21)  - the distance between 2 points.

    Variables are temporarily displayed as horzontal lines;
      the length indicates the value.

      V Variable - Value
    V - variable value
    Direct allocation of a variable

    With Pageup / Page Down key a defined variable.

      V X/Y/Z-part PT|VC
      get the X- or Y- or Z-part of a point or of a Vector.

    # extract the x-coordinate of a point
    V20 = X(P20)

      V PT-PT Dist.[Direction]
      Variable = length between 2 points [into direction]

    [Direction]   optional; keine Angabe: direct length between 2 points.
                  Distance along a vector: define a vector

    Example:
    V20 = P20 P21
    # distance from point P20 to point P21 into direction Z:
    V21=P20 P21 DZ

      V LN      length
    V LN Length
      Variable = length of a Distance

    V20 = L20

      V PT - LN Perp.Dist
    PT-V LN normal distance
      Variable = Normal distance of a point from a distance

    V20 = P20 L20

      V CIR     Radius
      Variable = radius of a circle

    V20 = C20
