In the illustration below, the coordinate 5<60,6 indicates a point 5 units from
the origin of the current UCS, 60 degrees from the X axis in the XY plane,
and 6 units along the Z axis. The coordinate 8<30,1 indicates a point 8 units
from the origin of the current UCS in the XY plane, 30 degrees from the X
axis in the XY plane, and 1 unit along the Z axis.
When you need to define a point based on a previous point, you can enter a
relative cylindrical coordinate with the @ sign. In the illustration below, the
relative cylindrical coordinate @4<45,5 indicates a point 4 units in the XY
plane from the last point entered, at an angle of 45 degrees from the positive
X direction, and extending 5 units in the Z direction.
