22-7. 3D Polar Spheroidal Relative Coordinates
Three-dimensional space and 3D Polar Spheroidal Relative Coordinates in AutoCAD


Command is entered on the form @distance<angle1<angle2 behind the command line you want to draw.
Given that here we do not have X and Y coordinates, we have a standard starting direction EAST so we take care of it when working with these coordinates. (See Coordinate System). The command is similar to the spheroid-Absolute coordinates with the difference that when you type the command coordinates put the @ sign and the starting point is our current point where we are.
Look at the picture above. To draw a starting point of a line in 3D space using spherical polar coordinates relative it is necessary to specify the command as follows.
- - Click on the Isometric button to switch to 3D view (toolbar View)
- - To set point T2 is necessary: to position itself at the point T1 and then click on the button LINE
- - Type @6<40<23 + Enter time point T2 positioned in 3D space by elements of orders that we have set. So 6 is our distance from the starting point T1, angle1 under which we started - East direction is 40° and angle2 is vertical and is 23°.
What did we do?
We were at the point T1. Using spherical polar coordinates are defined relative to our distance from the T2 to be 6 units at an angle 40° from the X Axis towards the East a diagonal perpendicular to the height angle2 23°.
So the sequence of commands as follows:
We are located at the point T1
We were at the point T1. Using spherical polar coordinates are defined relative to our distance from the T2 to be 6 units at an angle 40° from the X Axis towards the East a diagonal perpendicular to the height angle2 23°.
So the sequence of commands as follows:
We are located at the point T1
Command: _line [LINE button click to draw lines, note that the starting point from T1]
Specify first point: @6<40<23 [set point T2 - the distance between T1 and T2 = 6, angle1 = 40°, angle2 = 23°]
Specify first point: @6<40<23 [set point T2 - the distance between T1 and T2 = 6, angle1 = 40°, angle2 = 23°]
