Define location of points

Assign the location of a point by "Absolute" or "Relative" reference (Cartesian coordinates):

• Absolute (x,y) is the horizontal (x position), vertical (y position) from origin (0,0).

• Relative (@x,y) is the horizontal (x distance), vertical (y distance) from current or selected point.

Length and Angle: (@l<d) is the distance or length (l) and the angle in degrees from zero (d) from the current or selected point (polar coordinates).

Note that:

Line

2 points [DrawLine]: Draw a line between two assigned points (x,y) (x,y).

Angle [DrawLineAngle]: Draw a line from an assigned point (x,y) defining the start, middle or end of the line and with an assigned length and angle.

Horizontal [DrawLineHorizontal):Draw a horizontal line from an assigned point (x,y) defining the start, middle or end of the line and with an assigned length.
