Using Coordinate Systems

Coordinate is the location of a point in the drawing
2D using X, Y as coordinates

There are 2 types of Coordinate System:

Cartesian Coordinate
Both are Distance
---
Polar Coordinate
One Distance, one Angle
Absolute Coordinates
Any coordinates start from origin (0,0)
Usually is the 1st point of draw command
Cartesian Coordinate: 100,50
Polar Coordinate: 100<45
---
Relative Coordinates
Coordinates start from any point except origin
Usually id the 2nd point onward of the draw command
Cartesian Coordinate: @100,50
Polar Coordinate: @100<45
