Quick Reference

To enter coordinates relative to the WCS

• Precede coordinate values with an asterisk (*).

Entering @*2,0,0 specifies a point two units in the X direction of the last point entered relative to the WCS. Entering @2,0,0 specifies a point two units in the X direction of the last point entered relative to the UCS.

In practice, most coordinates are entered relative to the UCS rather than the WCS.
