Polar Tracking

Menu: None

Default keyboard shortcut: None

Function:

If Polar Tracking is ON then as you move your cursor to specify points, and a command action is open waiting a reference point, a dotted polar tracking line appears at the tracking angles you specified with Polar Track Angle property. Also, a text tool tip display the polar coordinates.

 

In the following image you can see how this works.

You have to set a value for Polar Tracking Angle say 45º and set Polar Tracking to On.

 

When Polar Tracking is ON, you can type a distance instead of a coordinate.
