I have reoccurring problem drawing lines to a specific length. I click a starting point - get it started - and type the distance. It works one time on a newly opened file. From then on it puts the end of the line down where my cursor is and ignores the numerical input.
If I reopen the file it will work once. I have 1010 on a iMac G5 10.4.
Very annoying
I'm having the same problem but my tracker is turned on and I have all of the checks in the same places in the Tracker Settings box. Is there somewhere else where there is a setting to measure everything from the origin?
