Relative coordinates are based on the last point entered. Use relative
coordinates when you know the location of a point in relation to the previous
point.
To specify relative coordinates, precede the coordinate values with an @ sign.
For example, entering @1<45 specifies a point at a distance of 1 unit from the
last point specified at an angle of 45 degrees from the X axis.
The following example shows two lines drawn with relative polar coordinates.
In each illustration, the line begins at the location labeled as the previous
point.
Command: line
From point: @3<45
To point: @5<285
To enter absolute polar coordinates (2D)
■ At a prompt for a point, enter coordinates in the tooltip using the following
format:
#distance<angle
If dynamic input is turned off, enter coordinates on the command line
using the following format:
distance<angle
To enter relative polar coordinates (2D)
■ At a prompt for a point, enter coordinates using the following format:
@distance<angle
