4 In the Action tree, right-click the coordinate value node and click Relative
to Previous.
■ To make a coordinate value absolute, click Relative to Previous if a
check mark is present before it. If no check mark is present, then the
coordinate value is already absolute.
■ To make a coordinate value relative to the previous point, click Relative
to Previous if a check mark is not present before it. If a check mark is
present, then the coordinate value is already relative to the previous
point.
To toggle all coordinate values to be absolute or relative to the previous
point
1 On the ribbon, click Manage tab ➤ Action Recorder panel. Click the
down arrow next to the Action Macro list.
2 In the Action Macro list, select the action macro that contains the
coordinate value node that you want to be absolute or relative to the
previous coordinate.
3 Expand the Action Recorder panel.
4 In the Action tree, right-click the top node and click All Points Are
Relative.
■ To make all coordinate values absolute, click All Points Are Relative
if a check mark is present before it. If no check mark is present, then
the coordinate values might already be absolute; there might also be
a combination of absolute and relative coordinate values in the macro.
NOTE To be sure all coordinate values are absolute when All Points Are
Relative is not checked, select All Points Are Relative twice to avoid some
coordinate values being absolute while others are set relative to the
previous point.
■ To make all coordinate values relative to the previous point, except
for the first coordinate value, click Relative to Previous if a check mark
is not present before it. If a check mark is present, then all coordinate
values are already relative to the previous point with the exception
of the first coordinate value, which is always absolute.
