Location Enter
the coordinates of the Start and End locations. The
coordinates are expressed in different forms noted below. Input Start Location Specify
the coordinates of a Start Location [(ABS x, y)] Specify
the coordinates of an End Location [(ABS x, y), (REL dx, dy), (Length,
Angle)]. <Methods of Entering Coordinates> ABS x, y Enter
2-D coordinates for an absolute location on the Work Plane. Enter
a distance relative to the Start Location on the Work Plane. Enter a relative distance from the Start Location and a rotational Angle (counterclockwise +) from the + X-direction on the Work Plane.
When we enter coordinates using the mouse, the coordinates are automatically entered by a left-click on the desired point, without having to press the Apply button. However, when coordinates are typed in, either the Enter key or the Apply button needs to be pressed. |

Notes |
When 3-D coordinates are selected in 3-D space using Snap, the program will automatically project the point into 2-D coordinates of the Work Plane. |
