Numerical Point Options

Numerical point options are point options for any coordinate entries and point numbers. The following options and abbreviations are available:
 

Absolute position	A
Absolute angle + distance	P
Named point	N
Relative coordinates	R
Relative angle and distance	W
Distance from start of line/edge	D
Shortened coordinates	K

There are various options for activating these point options:

• Activation in the Point Options menu by selecting the corresponding symbol.
• Activation by simply entering the point option code via the keyboard, e.g. A for Absolute or R for Relative. The Relative (R) point option can also be activated using the space bar.
• Selection of the Input via keyboard function in the Point options menu and entering the point option code, e.g. A for Absolute or R for Relative.

For all numerical point options such as R, P or A, you can change the point option directly in the HiCAD calculator by overwriting the point option name at the beginning of the input field.
