How do I create a point at a specified angle and distance from an existing point in XyzPilot?

Use Point/Angle,Dist with the reference point, angle in degrees from the positive X axis, and distance in millimetres.

Full Answer

Use Point/Angle,Dist. Specify the reference point, the direction angle in degrees from the positive X axis (counterclockwise), and the distance in millimetres. This is polar coordinate construction.

XyzPilot Example

P0 = (0, 0) Point/P0, Angle=45, Dist=50, 0 → P1 = (35.355, 35.355) [50mm at 45 degrees] Point/P0, Angle=0, Dist=100, 0 → P2 = (100, 0) [100mm along +X axis] Point/P0, Angle=90, Dist=75, 0 → P3 = (0, 75) [75mm straight up] Point/P0, Angle=225, Dist=30, 0 → P4 = (-21.213, -21.213) [30mm at 225 degrees]
