Points in AutoCAD
• Points are defined (and saved) in AutoCAD using the
Cartesian coordinate system.
• So the first and most traditional way of specifying
points in AutoCAD is to type the coordinates
whenever you are asked to do so, by typing X,Y
(pronounced X comma Y). See the following illustration:

To repeat the last AutoCAD command, press [Enter] or [Spacebar].


To cancel any AutoCAD command, press [Esc].
