7. AutoCAD Coordinates System
• Absolute coordinates
• Relative coordinates
• Polar coordinates.
Absolute Coordinates
All input points specify in your drawing
using standard Cartesian coordinates x
and y. Using absolute coordinate, points
entered by typing x,y [Enter]
Enter LINE command: L [Enter]
Start line at point A: 0,0 [Enter]
End first line at point B: 2,2 [Enter]
End of second line at point C: 2,3 [Enter]

8. Conti…
Relative Coordinates
After first points entered, your next points can
be entered by specifying the next coordinate
compare/relative from the first points. The
relative coordinate started with symbol “@”
tell AutoCAD it was a relative coordinates.
Using relative coordinate, points entered by
typing @x,y [Enter]
Enter LINE command: L [Enter]
Start line at point A: 0,0 [Enter]
End first line at point B: @2,2 [Enter]
End of second line at point C: @0,1 [Enter]

Polar Coordinates
Polar coordinates used when you need to draw
the next points at specify angle. Polar
coordinates system in AutoCAD specifies
distance length at which angle. Using polar
coordinate, points entered by typing
@distance<angle [Enter]
Enter LINE command: L [Enter]
Start line at point A: 0,0 [Enter]
End first line at point B: @2.828<45 [Enter]
End of second line at point C: @1<90 [Enter]TARUN B PATEL MECHANICAL DEPT
