Clive,

Thank you.  Very clear and a useful illustration.

I hope that Bob follows these threads since I think that your answer would make a useful addition to his LC user manual.

I was a little surprised by one result of your exercise.  When I completed the command:

4. Specify next point > now type in:
@ (relative) 200, 50 > press enter.

the final point was off to the right of the viewable edge of the screen.  I presumed I could use the window scrollbar to pan to see the final point but I could not.  I had to zoom in to make the whole drawing small enough that the final point showed in the window.  Is that normal for LC or is there something wrong with my setup?

Thanks again.
