Values entered in current unit (mm):

100,50 — absolute X,Y

@50,-20 — relative dX,dY

@100<45 — polar dist<angle°

50 or @50 — length only; extends toward the cursor, or the locked angle if polar lock is on

<45 then 100 — set an exact angle, then a length on the next line

@<30 then 100 — turn 30° from the current heading, then a length

LINE 0,0 0,10 COMMIT — a whole script line, space-separated; each token runs like its own Enter

Running object snaps

Snaps left running here are found automatically while you draw. Nearest and Apparent intersection start off on purpose: both are available almost everywhere, so leaving them on makes every other snap harder to catch. Press Tab to cycle when several stack up.
