Meaning of symbols in AutoCAD command line.
• [ ] is used for option
• ( ) is used for explanation
• < > is used for default value
Location of a point can be assigned by
• mouse click on the drawing area or on a specific point of an object.
• key in a cartesian coordinate.
(two numbers separate by a comma, i.e. 50,27 )
• key in a polar coordinate
- distance (from a specified beginning point) and
- angle (CCW from the horizontal axis)
(i.e. @50<60)
