Does anyone know if/how you can use relative coordinates while drawing in
Intellicad? I have tried F6 and it does not seem to work.

Thanks, Chris Peek

You type "@xxx,yyy" or "@xxx<ddd(deg)".
"Direct Distance" method: If drawing a line you can just move the mouse from
the start point in the direction required & just type the distance.
With dragmode OFF you can move/copy/stretch etc using the direct distance
method above.
F6 only changes the coordinates readout at the bottom of screen.

An other option is press F1 for help. Using the index it's very simple to
find commands and how to use them.

This is a huge omission, in my opinion, by Intellicad. From the base
screen go to - Settings > Drawing Settings > Coordinate Display >
click on Coordinate in Polar Form ......etc. I think this is the best
you can do.

It would greatly speed up my drawing if I had a very simple "Relative
Coordinate Mode" option I could turn on. I don't think you can
implement anything in Lisp or Visual Basic either. If anyone knows a
work-around, please post a solution.
