Work with Coordinates
You can use absolute or relative coordinates for acquired points in an action
macro.
As you record an action macro, recorded coordinate values can be represented
as absolute or relative. While a coordinate value can be absolute or relative,
the stored value for all recorded coordinate values is absolute. Since all
coordinate values are stored as absolute with an action macro, you can toggle
between using the absolute or relative to previous point value for a recorded
coordinate value during playback. The first recorded coordinate value or
coordinate value after a UCS change is always defined as absolute. An absolute
coordinate value in an action macro is used as the base point for all later
relative coordinate values.
