Combine Coordinate Values (Coordinate Filters)
To use coordinate filters to specify a point in 2D
1 At the prompt for a point, enter a coordinate filter (.x or .y).
For example, enter .x to specify the X value first.
2 To extract the first coordinate value, specify a point.
For example, if you entered .x in step 1, the X value is extracted from
this point.
3 To extract the next coordinate value, specify a different point.
The new point location combines the coordinate values extracted from
the points you specified in steps 2 and 3.
NOTE
Instead of specifying a point in steps 2 or 3, you can enter a numeric value.
To use coordinate filters to specify a point in 3D
1 At the prompt for a point, enter a coordinate filter (.x, .y, .z, .xy, .xz,
or .yz).
For example, enter .x to specify the X value first.
2 To extract the specified coordinate value(s), specify a point.
For example, if you entered .x in step 1, the X value is extracted from
this point.
3 At the prompt for the remaining coordinates, do one of the following:
■ Extract the remaining coordinate values by specifying a point.
■ Enter another coordinate filter and return to step 2.
For example, if you entered .x in step 1, specify a second point to extract
the Y and Z coordinates simultaneously, or enter .y or .z to specify Y
and Z values separately.
The new point location combines the coordinate values extracted from
the points specified in steps 2 and 3.
NOTE
Instead of specifying a point in steps 2 or 3, you can enter a numeric value.
