Polar coordinates are entered as distance and angle. When you separate the input with / (slash), the program will recognise it as polar input.
Absolute polar coordinates are entered as follows: distance/angle
Relative polar coordinates are entered as follows: @distance/angle
Note: When using engineering or architectural linear units, absolute polar coordinates are entered using distance<angle and relative polar coordinates using @distance<angle.
Examples
Line start point: 1,1
Line end point: @5.8/31
The line startpoint is in coordinates 1,1. A line 5.8 drawing units long will be drawn at an angle of 31°.
