Shortcut for H and V length

[Anonymous]

Hi,

In AC9, when drawing (say) a rectangle polyline I could specify the height and width by using the "X" and "Y" shortcut on the keyboard. But in AC10, X and Y refer to the X and Y co-ordinates (and hence my polysquare ends up in the wrong place with the wrong dimensions).

I can't seem to find the shortcut for Length - H and Length - V. Could somebody help me out?

Thanks!

Typing "X" and "Y" seems to work for a skewed grid (or normal for that matter)

that's kinda my point . . .

why on earth the need for all of this length-this-way, length-that-way crap anyway? cartesian and polar coordinates don't need to be re-invented for a dumbed down beginner market . . . it's like putting a toddler behind the wheel of a ferrari and hoping that by calling it the "go faster peddle" they'll know what to do . . .
