Quick Reference

To use coordinate filters to specify a point in 3D

1. At the prompt for a point, enter a coordinate filter (.x, .y, .z, .xy, .xz, or .yz).

   For example, enter .x to specify the X value first.

2. To extract the specified coordinate value(s), specify a point.

   For example, if you entered .x in step 1, the X value is extracted from this point.

3. At the prompt for the remaining coordinates, do one of the following:
   • Extract the remaining coordinate values by specifying a point.
   • Enter another coordinate filter and return to step 2.

   For example, if you entered .x in step 1, specify a second point to extract the Y and Z coordinates simultaneously, or enter .y or .z to specify Y and Z values separately.

   The new point location combines the coordinate values extracted from the points specified in steps 2 and 3.
