&lt;h1&gt;Problem&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In MicroStation V8i one could switch, or toggle, between Polar and Cartesian coordinate system by tapping the Spacebar while AccuDraw is in focus.&lt;br /&gt;How can this be done when in MicroStation CONNECT Edition?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Solution&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The same functionality is still available in MicroStation CONNECT Edition, but instead of using the Spacebar, tap the &amp;quot;M&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;This will toggle the AccuDraw compass between Cartesian (represented by a square) and Polar (by a circle) coordinate system.&lt;/p&gt;
