Relative coordinates VS. Absolute coordinates
When we use Relative Coordinates, we type the X and Y coordinates relative to the last point, it’s always about the last point.
When we use Absolute Coordinates, we type X and Y coordinates on the current coordinate system to locate the point relative to the origin. It’s always about the origin, the absolute (0,0).
New 3D command in GstarCAD 2021: Polysolid

A closer look at the REGION command
We can’t directly draw a region, we can only get a region by selecting an object and make it an region, which is similar to Hatch.
How to remove the redundant part of an image and how to set the transparency?
