Polar Tracking

Polar tracking allows drawing in multiples of the angle defined in the Polar Tracking tab of the Preferences dialog. If polar tracking is active, in any drawing command, when the cursor is moved after the first point is given, the cursor jumps to defined angles.

  • Click the Settings/Preferences line in the classic menu and the Settings/Preferences icon in the ribbon menu.

  • Click the polar tracking tab.

  • Check the polar tracking option.

  • Edit the throw angle and additional angles.

Polar tracking on (F3) : Enables polar tracking mode. In any drawing command, when the cursor is moved after the first point is given, the cursor jumps to defined angles.

Increment angle : Determines the angles that the cursor will jump to with an increment of the entered angle value. For example, given the increment angle 30, polar tracking works for 0, 30, 60, 90,120.150 etc angles.

Additional angles : Activates polar tracking for additional angles other than the increment angle. Polar tracking is also activated for additional angles.

Dynamic Login

Dynamic input allows entering angle and length information at the same time without using the coordinate box while entering the object. To open dynamic login;

  • Click the Settings/Preferences line in the classic menu and the Settings/Preferences icon in the ribbon menu.

  • Click the Polar Tracking tab.

  • Check the option for dynamic login .

The basic feature of dynamic input is to be able to enter the length and angle information instantly during the object definition phase. During the process, the TAB key on the keyboard allows to enter the length-angle values.

For example, let's draw a line with a length of 500 cm and an angle of 60 degrees with the dynamic input possibility.

  • Click the line command and click the drawing area to give the first point of the line.

  • Type 500 on the keyboard. The length value will be 500. (Enter 0.5 if the input unit is meters)

  • Press the TAB key on the keyboard. The cursor will be in the Angle box.

  • Type 60 as the angle value.

  • Click the left button and the line will be formed.
