Polar Tracking and Polar Snap

Polar Tracking restricts cursor movement to sepcified angles
Polar Snap restricts cursor movement to specified increments along polar angle

Polar Tracking



Status bar - Polar Tracking - Upsidedown triangle - Tracking Settings



Increment angle: 45
Additional angles: 22, 338
Polar Angle measurement: Absolute



Home tab > Draw panel > Line




Rotate cursor to angle of 22, a green continuous dotted line appear
Enter 1000



Rotate cursor to angle of 135 
A green continuous dotted line appear to indicate you reach the polar angle



Rotate cursor to the polar angle 225
Enter 2000



Rotate cursor to polar angle 338 and enter 1000



Rotate cursor to polar angle 225 and enter 1000



Rotate cursor to polar angle 0 and enter 500



Repeat the same polar angle and distance for another 2 set of lines
The last line enter 1500 for the distance



Pointing cursor down and enter 500



Pointing right and enter 250
Pointing up and enter 500



Pointing right and rnter 1500



Pointing cursor at polar angle 135 and enter 1000



Repeat the same steps with the left set of lines to complete the X'mas tree

Polar Snap



Status bar - Snap Settings


Snap On
Snap Type: Polar Snap
Polar distance: 250


Start Line commamd


Rotate cursor to polar angle 22
Matain the same angle, move cursor along alignment path until 1000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 135
Move cursor along alignment path until 2000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 225
Move cursor along alignment path until 2000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 338
Move cursor along alignment path until 1000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 225
Move cursor along alignment path until 1000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 0
Move cursor along alignment path until 500


Rotate cursor to polar angle 225
Move cursor along alignment path until 1000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 0
Move cursor along alignment path until 500


Rotate cursor to polar angle 225
Move cursor along alignment path until 1000


Rotate cursor to polar angle 0
Move cursor along alignment path until 1500


Rotate cursor to polar angle 270
Move cursor along alignment path until 500


Rotate cursor to polar angle 0
Move cursor along alignment path until 250


Repeat the same step for another line up 500 and line right 1500
Rotate cursor to polar angle 135
Move cursor along alignment path until 2000


Repeat the same steps for the lines on right to complete the drawing
