NOTE Clicking Polar and Otrack on the status bar also turns polar tracking and
object snap tracking on and off.
Polar Angle Measurement
Sets the basis by which polar tracking alignment angles are measured.
Absolute
Bases polar tracking angles on the current user coordinate system (UCS).
Relative to Last Segment
Bases polar tracking angles on the last segment drawn.
Object Snap Tab (Drafting Settings Dialog Box)
Controls running object snap settings. With running object snap settings, also
