Exercise (CREATE POINT DX): From one of the previous points, construct another one at a distance X= 40 and Y= 15 .
Solution: Click the icons, select the point, enter the value of the mandatory parameter DX (on the displayed keypad), and enter the value for the optional parameter DY in the same way.
