Entering polar positions

The syntax for entering polar positions (using the status bar) is as follows:

> angle [angle_units] length [length_units]

Square brackets [ ] show elements which are optional.

> indicates that polar coordinates are being entered.

angle is the value of the angle.

angle_units is the unit type, for example, degrees.

length is the value of the length.

length_units is the unit type, for example, mm.

Examples of polar coordinates are given below.

> 45 30

> 45 degrees 30 mm

> 30 2.5 inches

You can also enter Cartesian positions.
