2.10 Entering Coordinates

Entering coordinate information is fundamental to the use of Visual. Coordinates define the location of all entity types.

Coordinate information can be entered in one of three ways discussed in this chapter:

 

 

- Mouse Pointer Navigation allows for movement of the cursor to a specific location where a left-click will cause Visual to use that location as input.

 

 

- Object Snap allows for the specification of a location that is related to an existing entity.

 

 

- Command Line Entry allows for keyboard entry of specific absolute and relative coordinates.

 

 

Advanced Visual users will fine-tune productivity by using all three input methods where appropriate and convenient.
