Procedure

Cartesian, cylindrical, or spherical coordinates locate points when you are creating objects in 3D.

Enter 3D Cartesian Coordinates
3D Cartesian coordinates specify a precise location by using three coordinate values: X, Y, and Z.
Enter Cylindrical Coordinates
3D cylindrical coordinates describe a precise location by a distance from the UCS origin in the XY plane, an angle from the X axis in the XY plane, and a Z value.
Enter Spherical Coordinates
3D spherical coordinates specify a location by a distance from the origin of the current UCS, an angle from the X axis in the XY plane, and an angle from the XY plane.
