Entering Coordinate Values by Specifying Guide Points


When entering coordinate values for coordinate parameters in [Drawing] or [Edit] command, or editing shapes by clicking the tracker handle for the selection tracker, you can add a temporary guide point at a desired position. The guide point can be snapped, or used as the base point for inputting relative coordinates.

Adding guide point

When entering coordinate values for coordinate parameters in [Drawing] or [Edit] command, or editing shapes by clicking the tracker handle for the selection tracker, press Ctrl key on the keyboard. A new guide point will be added, and a mark will be displayed.

If shape snap for points is valid, snap to an added guide point. The guide point will also be a base point for inputting relative coordinates for coordinate parameters in [Drawing] or [Edit] command.

Deleting guide point

Move the cursor on the added guide point and press Ctrl key on the keyboard to delete the guide point.

Supplemental
▪ When pressing Ctrl key while the point is snapped to the end point or intersection of the shape, a guide point will be added to the snapped position.
▪ Executing a command, or exiting operation of the handle of the selection tracker automatically deletes guide points.
