The status bar at the bottom of the screen prompts the following information (from left to right):
- Menu Help - summary of a selected menu item.
- Current Mode - Each icon in the drawing toolbox represents a mode. Tools requiring additional inputs after clicking the tool will display further prompts in this field.
- Cursor Coordinates - Displays the current coordinates of the cursor in the diagram.
- Angle Mode - A drop down window for conveniently changing from Radians to Degrees and visa versa. This default can also be changed in the Preferences dialog - Edit / Preferences / Math. This mode not only affects Constraints and Calculations in your geometry, but also this setting is crucial when drawing trig functions. It must be set to Radians or your sin waves will be flat! You can still label the X axis in degrees or radians from the Context menu, Axis Properties / Units.
