<3D Line>

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, z)].
Input End Location

Specify the coordinates of an End Location [(ABS x, y, z), (REL dx, dy. dz)].
 

<Methods of Entering Coordinates>

ABS x, y. z

Enter 3-D coordinates for an absolute location in space.
REL dx, dy, dz

Enter a distance relative to the Start Location using 3-D coordinates.

 

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.
