Using typed coordinate input

Use the Position dialog to enter the coordinates of a point. This is useful when it is not sufficient to use the cursor.

To display the Position dialog, click Position on the status bar, or click on any dialog.

  • Cartesian — Uses Cartesian coordinates.
  • Polar — Uses polar coordinates.
  • Circle — Calculates the centre and radius of a circle from three points.
  • Between — Calculates a new point between two existing points.

The Cartesian and Polar tabs are always synchronised as there is a single underlying point represented in two different ways.
