I am also running Snow Leopard but cannot reproduce your bug. I don't know what setting could cause this. Do you have the same issue if you enter the length first, then the angle?

Additionally, when I enter the length first, two lasting guidelines are produced--one a circle, one a line, neither remotely useful.But the angle the line takes is always wrong.

Are you having any graphics issues in SN? (exploding pixels, long refresh times, error messages) Your computers are newer than mine, so you're probably having a different experience with 16. I've got a new MBP on the way, so I'm sure these problems will not continue for me.

The explanation for those controls could definitely be explained better. Because logic wasn't working for me, I have tried every combination of the tracker and coordinate input settings with no joy. I definitely have hardware issues--can't blame it on AC. Thanks for chiming in.
We were having a similar problem when we started using AC16- when trying to input a coordinate numerically, the origin would jump to some random location. This would happen when using the split command and also trying to place a object (wall, etc...). For example, trying to place an interior wall I would place an origin at the corner of two existing walls, type in coordinates (say, x: -3-0, y 0-0) and the wall would instead start x 27-0, y 20-0 (for example).
To fix it I unchecked "Coordinate shortcuts prefer Tracker" and checked "Show X-Y coordinates relative to User origin in Tracker" in Options--> Work Environment-->Tracker and Coordinate Input. (see attached screen shot)
I suppose the origin was defaulting to the Absolute instead of relative origin, but I don't know why.
