Reid Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 In the bottom left corner, right under the command line, there is a place where you can change polar drawing mode form relative to absolute and off. Right click will show it. I never use it as i don't know how to use. To switch between absolute and relative angles I use settings accessible from the main settings dialogue. However when i try to switch from absolute to relative or vice verse by way of this shortcut under the command line nothing happens. I suspect it was placed there to temporarily override main settings but it does nothing when i use it. When i set polar to absolute in the main settings, it follows the UCS holding to absolute increments as it should, but when i try to change to the relative mode, just there under the command line, i still draw absolute no matter what my option is. Whats up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Ferral Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think that the status line only shows the coordinates, It doesn't control how they are entered. http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
