To Enter Coordinate Values in the Pointer Input Tooltip

  1. Verify that the dynamic input is enabled. You can do this by ensuring the value for DYNMODE is set to 3.
  2. Use one of the following methods to enter coordinate values or select options:
    • To enter 2D Cartesian coordinates, enter an X coordinate value and a comma (,), and then enter a Y coordinate value and press Enter.
    • To enter polar coordinates, enter the distance from the first point and press Tab, and then enter an angle value and press Enter.
    • If a down-arrow icon follows the prompt, press the DOWN ARROW key until a dot is displayed next to the option. Press Enter.
    • Press the UP ARROW key to access recent coordinates, or right-click and click Recent Input to access the coordinates from a shortcut menu.
Note: For dimension input, after you type a value in an input field and press Tab, the field displays a lock icon, and the cursor is constrained by the value that you entered.
