The Drafting Settings dialog box opens. By default, the Polar
Tracking tab is active (see Figure 5.12).
3. Before using Polar Tracking, you need to change a few settings:
a. Starting in the upper-left corner, click the Polar Tracking On check
box. This has the same effect as clicking the Polar Tracking button
in the status bar, or pressing F10 from the Application window.
b. In the Polar Angle Settings area, change the Increment Angle
to 45.00.
