Call the Polygon tool – either with a click on its tool icon in the 2D Draw control panel (Fig.
4. The method of constructing an outline as in the third example is known as the relative coordinate entry method – coordinate points are entered relative to the previous entry. In relative coordinate entry, the @ symbol is entered before each set of coordinates with the following rules in mind: ؉ve x entry is to the right ؊ve x entry is to the left ؉ve y entry is upwards ؊ve y entry is downwards. 5. The next example (the fourth) shows how lines at angles can be drawn taking advantage of the relative coordinate entry method.
The cursor’s pick box will jump from point to point at 5 unit intervals. The position of the pick box will show as coordinate numbers in the status bar (left-hand end). 5. Move the mouse until the coordinate numbers show 60,240,0 and press the Pick button of the mouse (left-click). 6. Move the mouse until the coordinate numbers show 260,240,0 and left-click. 7. Move the mouse until the coordinate numbers show 260,110,0 and left-click. 8. Move the mouse until the coordinate numbers show 60,110,0 and leftclick.
