Coordinate System

The coordinate system (UCS) in which the increment is defined.

Increments X / Y / Z

Three components of increment.

Set by points (×1 / ×2 / ×3 / ×1/3 / ×1/2)

When the increments are obtained using Set by points, the increments are multiplied by the selected scaling factor before the values are placed into the edit boxes. Changing the scaling factor affects only subsequent increment retrievals, not the current increment values in the edit boxes. The scaling factors are not applicable to increments typed directly into the edit boxes.
