When the Origin is Moved After Rotating the Coordinate Axes
When the origin point is moved after the coordinate axes have been rotated, movement of the origin
point conforms to the figure below.

When the Coordinate Axes are Rotated After Moving the Origin Point
When the coordinate axes are rotated after moving the origin point, the origin point is initialized as
shown in the figure below. That is, the “a” distance is retained, but the “b” distance is initialized.

When you wish to both move the origin and rotate the coordinate axes, be sure to rotate the coordinate
axes first.
NOTE : After a new origin point is set, the displayed coordinate values of X= and Y= represent
the respective distances from the new origin.
