Switching between Polar and Cartesian coordinate system

Problem

In MicroStation V8i one could switch, or toggle, between Polar and Cartesian coordinate system by tapping the Spacebar while AccuDraw is in focus.
How can this be done when in MicroStation CONNECT Edition?

Solution

The same functionality is still available in MicroStation CONNECT Edition, but instead of using the Spacebar, tap the "M".
This will toggle the AccuDraw compass between Cartesian (represented by a square) and Polar (by a circle) coordinate system.
