Drawing basic walls with dimensions

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am fairly inexperienced on archicad but I used to be able to use it just fine now I have archicad 12 I can't work out a few things.

When drawing a basic wall it won't draw a straight lined wall without me having to hold shift, I cant find the 'polar' function or equivalent.

I can't draw anything with dimensions, when i click the wall button the black box with the dimensions and co ordinates etc doesn't appear and typing in numbers on the keyboard doesn't work to dimension the wall so I can't draw anything to scale.

Please could someone help me out as I have a project to complete!

thanks anyone

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
