    setting a reference point

    If I want to draw a rectangle relative to some point on my drawing, what's
    the easiest way to specify the point? Clicking on the drawing doesn't reset
    the relative co-ordinates to 0,0.

    thanks

    Pressing W will make your next mouse click the working point. You
    can then type r for relative and fill in the x and y boxes.
    (Click on System in the dialog box to select x/y or polar
    coordinates).
