Hello, is there any way to make the line stable straight orthognal without i have to press on shift keyboard like for example autocad i press f8 or ortho indication then the line straight without i have to press on shift continously please help
i think i am turning on guide lines from the first but this does not make the line straight without have to press shift the image is shown i am turning it on
Karl just beat me to it as I was getting my post ready, but here goes anyway:
When turned on, guide lines will appear on screen that your cursor will snap to when close enough to them. You can customize it to only accept 90 degree increments. See image below and check the ArchiCAD Help file.
(And, of course, there's the really old-fashioned way of locking coordinates. If you display the Coordinates Palette (Windows > Palettes), you can lock any coordinate by pressing alt-letter. E.g., pressing alt-Y locks the Y value so that only horizontal lines can be drawn, or alt-A to lock the angle, etc.)
