Procedure

Quick Reference

To enter relative spherical coordinates

• At a prompt for a point, enter the coordinate values using the following format:

  @x<angle from the x axis<angle from the xy plane

For example, @4<60<30 represents a location that is 4 units from the last point measured at 60 degrees from the positive X axis in the XY plane and at 30 degrees from the XY plane.
