First of all, hello boys & gals! Really an honor to be among you and hope i will learn alot from you gurus (and guru-esses ?!)
anyway, been working with acad 2007 for like 2 weeks now and been stumbling upon this thing that's driving me crazy:
i draw a straight line and i want to draw from the end of it 5 units to the right and 10 up another line. i click TT, hover over the end of the line and go right 5 units. the thing i don't undertsand is - can't i enter 5 (units) from my kbd ? whenever i enter 5 it automatically creates a point on the polyline ...i just want it to set the TT Point 5 units from the end of the first line - not draw the line. next i want to go 10 units up from this tt point and draw the line to there. it'd look like an obtuze angle.
i know it can be done by drawing aid-lines - but i don't want that. i want to understand and use TT P tracking.
hope i'm not a burden right from my first point
god bless you all
