Drawing the Lazy Way with POLAR

Just like ORTHO, you can quickly find and draw at an angle with POLAR. Typically you will find POLAR under your command line. Right-click on it and select “Settings…”



Here is an example of how to use it. When drawing a line, drag near the angle you want. POLAR will automatically hold that angle. Simply drag in the direction of the angle you want, type a distance and hit enter. The line will be drawn the distance you specified at the angle that POLAR was holding.

Seriously. That’s lazy drafting.

    Way to pick angle to fill

    For polar array, under the "Total number of Items & Angle to Fill" method, the "select Object" & Center Point" can be easily pick. But not for the "Angle to Fill"- to type in instead.(AutoCad 2006)

    Please teach me how to pick " Angle to Fill" instead of type in.

    Thank you
