How do I create a point by applying X and Y offsets to an existing point in XyzPilot?

Use Point/Delta with the reference point and dX, dY offset values. Positive dX moves right, positive dY moves up.

Full Answer

Use Point/Delta. Specify the reference point and the X and Y offset values. Positive dX moves right (+X direction), negative dX moves left. Positive dY moves up (+Y direction), negative dY moves down.

XyzPilot Example

P0 = (100, 50) Point/P0, dX=25, dY=10, 0 → P1 = (125, 60) [+25 in X, +10 in Y] Point/P0, dX=-30, dY=0, 0 → P2 = (70, 50) [-30 in X, no Y change] Point/P0, dX=0, dY=-20, 0 → P3 = (100, 30) [no X change, -20 in Y]
