You can also start the command from the Sketcher toolbar.
Tips: Create the points on the right side drawing to match the left side. Use the
Autocursor function to insert the points at the Endpoints, Midpoints,
Intersection, Quadrants, Origin and Center locations. As Mastercam detects and
snaps to points, it displays a temporary square over the point and the
corresponding cursor icon. Use the Fast Point icon to enter the coordinate values
for the rest of the points as per the drawing.
Press Enter key.
Mastercam does the math.
For the second point you can type 2.25+.5, -1.75 -1 (Enter)
