What settings do you have for your witness lines?

The 'dynamic height' option for the witness line does not seem to work when there is no second line to measure the angle.

You are just picking a point along a guide line and it does not seem to like that.

Change to the 'custom heght' option.

What settings are you using and what problems do you have.

Images help a lot.

hi @LiamHarris & @Barry Kelly i don't bother with it anymore, nowadays i just manually place lines with line styles on plans.
