General Polar Positioning from the Origin

Keywords:

POLAR PLANE DISTANCE

Description:

This command differs from the basic polar option by allowing the distance from the owner’s origin to be specified more generally. The PLANE element of the command enables this distance to be given in a direction different from the polar direction.
