Next, enter the dimensions for the line that reaches from point B
through point C.
• Press the
LINE key.
• In the “From” field, enter point B’s coordinates, X1 = 2 and
Y1 = 0.
Now you are ready to enter the “To” point. Use polar coordinates,
because you know the angle and can estimate the radius.
• Press the
POLAR softkey. Guess “5” for the radius (R2).
• Press the
ABS/INCR key to switch to incremental measuring
(because we are measuring from point B, not from datum).
• Highlight the A2 field.
The print shows that the angle is 70°. But if 70° is entered, the line
will slant the wrong way. The complementary angle is needed
instead. You can figure it out by subtracting 70° from 180°, the total
angle of the line.
• You can either enter the answer, 110°, directly into the
(A2) field, or you can calculate the answer using the keypad
(“180-70”).
• Since the angle is measured from point B (incremental zero)
you must press the
ABS/INCR key again.
• Press the USE key, and line B-C will appear.
