Locates a point from a series of temporary points.
At a prompt to locate a point, enter TRACKING
Tracking turns on Ortho mode and can be used with Snap mode.
At any prompt to locate a point, enter TRACKING, TRACK, or TK.
Tracking specifies a series of temporary points, each offset from the previous one. Thus, you specify a new point location from a series of directions and distances. To determine the location of each temporary point, you can use direct distance entry. First move the cursor to specify the direction, and then enter a numeric distance.
Alternatively, tracking can establish a new point by combining the X and Y values of two specified points. You can specify these two points in any order, depending on the cursor direction after the first point. Direct distance entry specifies a distance in the direction of the current location of your cursor. Coordinate filters combine X, Y, and Z values from different points into a single point. Relative coordinate entry locates a point relative to the last point entered.
You can also access tracking by holding down SHIFT and right-clicking to display the object snap shortcut menu.
