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
}
```
