Rotation |
Sets the rotation of the drawing plane axes, via an option menu. While the AccuDraw window has the focus, pressing the key combination indicated in parentheses has the same effect as choosing the specified Rotation.
- Choosing Top (<T>) aligns the drawing plane with axes in a standard Top view.
- Choosing Front (<F>) aligns the drawing plane with axes in a standard Front view.
- Choosing Side (<S>) aligns the drawing plane with axes in a standard (Right) side view.
- Choosing View (<V>) aligns the drawing plane with View axes.
- Choosing Auxiliary aligns the drawing plane with Active ACS axes.
- Choosing Context (<R>, <Q>) aligns the drawing plane as specified interactively, or as hinted by the current drawing tool.
Unlike ACS rotation, context rotation is temporary, lasting only for the duration of the current drawing tool.

Type |
Sets the method used in the AccuDraw window to specify distances and angles relative to the drawing plane origin.
- Rectangular -
The X and Y fields (plus, in 3D, the Z field), along with their lock controls, are displayed in the AccuDraw window.
- Polar -
The Distance and Angle fields, along with their lock controls, are displayed in the AccuDraw window.
Tip: While the AccuDraw window has the focus, pressing <M> toggles Type.

Distance |
Sets the roundoff value for distances relative to the drawing plane origin. While the accompanying check box is on, the roundoff value is effective, except if overridden by keyed in values or snapped tentative points. The check box turns on automatically when the Distance setting is entered. Note: This setting does not affect keyed in values and snapped tentative points.
|
Angle |
Sets the roundoff value, in degrees, for angles relative to the drawing plane origin when in Polar mode. While the accompanying check box is on, the roundoff value is effective except if overridden by keyed in values or snapped tentative points. The check box turns on automatically when the Angle setting is entered. Note: This setting does not affect keyed in values and snapped tentative points.

Axis |
If on, indexing is activated for AccuDraw's drawing plane X and Y axes. The distance required to move the pointer from the indexed axis is controlled by the Tolerance setting. |
Distance |
If on, sets the minimum distance that the pointer must move from the AccuDraw origin in order to place a new data point. The minimum distance is controlled by the Tolerance setting. |
Tolerance |
Sets the minimum distance, in screen pixels, used by the Axis and Distance settings. Allowable values 1–99. |
