title: Point.shift()
---

The `Point.shift()` method returns a new `Point` that is `distance` (mm) away
in the direction of `angle` (degrees). An angle of 0° points to the right, and
the angle increases counterclockwise.

## Signature

```js
Point point.shift(float angle, float distance)
```

## Example

<Example caption="An example of the Point.shift() method">
```js
({ Point, points, macro, part }) => {

points.A = new Point(90, 40)
.setText("Point A", "right text-sm")
points.B = points.A.shift(155, 70)
.setText("Point B is point A shifted 7 cm\nat a 155 degree angle", "text-sm")
.attr("data-text-lineheight", 6)

macro("ld", {
from: points.B,
to: points.A,
d: -10,
id: 'macro1',
force: true,
})

return part
}

```
