See AlsoYour drawing is like an unlimited piece of graph paper. CC3 locates a specific location, or coordinate, measuring the horizontal and vertical distances to the desired spot. Each coordinate in your drawing has its own unique address, composed of x (horizontal) and y (vertical) numbers.
When a new drawing is created, coordinate (0,0) is below and to the left of your screen. Coordinate (1,1) is one unit up and to the right of this point, while coordinate (-1,-1) is below and to the left of the (0,0) point. As you add to your drawing, it can extend in all directions from (0,0).
Select the point with the mouse
· Use the left button to choose commands, locations, and values.
Use the right button to accept the default or prior value (standard or current value), or to cancel or complete a command when no default or prior value is present.
If Snap is on, the selected point will be attracted to the nearest snap point.
Use Modifiers and Attach
· Select an item from the Snaps toolbar, then use the cursor to select an existing entity. CC3 locks the cursor to a specific point (center, endpoint, and so on) on the existing entity.
· Turn ATTACH mode on attach mode and select points.
These are by far the most common methods of selecting points.
Type numeric coordinates
· Type exact coordinates at the keyboard, using absolute, relative, polar or relative polar coordinates.
· To enter numeric coordinates, type a pair of numbers separated by a comma, with no spaces between the characters, like this: 5,6 or this: -7.5,0.
