ACAD 2007 Urgent Help

[Marcus]

Hi All

Using the above in 2D and usually form lines by clicking line button, entering length and angle in command line and hey presto it does what I want. For some reason (!!!!) what ever variables I enter it draws the line to the same place on the draing regardless of what I enter or where I start the line.

Please save my sanity

Thanks

Do you have snap and Osnap turned on? Turn them off and see if that helps.

try putting "@" before you type the number. (without the quotes of course)

Worked it out - I had clicked "DYN" by mistake, dunno what it is but clicked again and all is fine

ya, whats the DYN (dynamic) for anyways?? when i first started learning, it messed me up. But i just turned it off and everythings kosher since...

DYN turns dynamic entry on and off. It allows command line entry to be shown close to the cursor. To enter lines using relative polar coordinates as in the example above with DYN on just enter the length of the line then hit tab and enter the angle.
