Ortho,
Polar & Dynamic Input are modes of operation. They are situated
in the status bar just below the workspace. Each mode gives the
workspace a certain direction of working i.e. in workspace while
using cursor each mode activates certain way of movement or certain
way of command giving. They can be used according to the need of the
designer. They are actually there to help in creating exact designs
according to the need.
Given bellow are the
descriptions of each mode.
Ortho: This is
orthogonal lock for cursor. That means when it’s on the lines will
move only in vertical or horizontal direction irrespective of the
movement of the cursor. So if the design is restricted to only this
to direction, this mode will help ensure the correctness of those
lines.
To switch on “Ortho”
mode one need to either left click on ORTHO on status bar or press F8
on keyboard.
Polar: This is to
create line in all directions throughout 360 degree. When this mode
is on, the input in given as the length of the line with the angle
for the line from its point of origin. This mode cannot work with
ortho mode. So only either of the two can be on at the same time. The
angle can be selected by right clicking on the polar mode and using
the settings option. Thus cursor will snap at the selected angle from
the point of origin. Polar mode is helpful in creating line designs
with accurate angle.
To switch on polar mode
one need to either left click on POLAR on status bar or press F10 on
key board.
Dynamic Input: This
input system helps someone to put both the input of length and angle
together thus making it the faster mode working than the previous two
modes. When this mode is on the cursor will show both input options
for length and angle together. 1st input is length than
the angle. One needs to press tab after putting the length value and
then put the value of angle thus creating the line from the point of
origin.
To switch on Dynamic input
one need to either left click on DYN on status bar or press F12 on
keyboard.
