![]() Polar tracking does not force the constraint to either the horizontal or vertical axis in the same way that ortho mode does. But, I digress… with ortho mode enabled, you are constrained horizontally and vertically, which is often complemented by the use of object tracking. With object snap tracking, hovering over a snap point will cause a small temporary marker to appear, and you can then use the horizontal and vertical axes of that point as a reference. Of course if you snap to an object this will override ortho mode, but you can still use other objects as a reference by using object snap tracking. That is, if you draw a line, it will draw it from the first point in either the horizontal or vertical direction. Ortho mode constrains user input to horizontal and vertical input. Of course, I am talking about these options at the bottom of AutoCAD: You’ve probably become accustomed to using one of them, but if you think they are the same, you may want to look again. Ortho mode and polar tracking are two methods of constraining user input to an axis. ![]()
