    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your reply. Because its length and width of rectangle, I expect AutoCAD to take all values I key in as positive value, and draw the rectangle in the quadrant where my cursor is.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you anyway!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;Hello everyone,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;I just&amp;nbsp;need some help with&amp;nbsp;rectangle drawing. I must've clicked on something that changed the settings somehow. When I select the rectangle command and select the first corner point, my AutoCAD decides that this point is (0,0) on the coordinate system. When I move the cursor top-right quadrant, that's fine because the dimensions&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;the same as the (x,y) axes. However, if I move the cursor towards any other quadrant, the negative sign appears depending on the quadrant I am in. how can I return the setting to the normal where I can move the cursor to the left or the right and still get a positive value for the length and width of my rectangle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;Note: This happens only with rectangle drawing. AutoCAD works fine when drawing lines and circles!!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;Thanks&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Untitled.jpg" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/493709i73943D0915968609/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Untitled.jpg" alt="Untitled.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;How can it be all positive for NW,SW,SE quadrants?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color="#999999"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;my AutoCAD decides that this point is (0,0) on the coordinate system.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;you can draw rectangles where ever you need and with different coordinate&amp;nbsp;... depending on what you discover that AutoCAD take ( 0,0 ) for the first rectangle point ?!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color="#999999"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;can move the cursor to the left or the right and still get a positive value for the length and width of my rectangle.&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;you may get that if you change&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;DYNPICOORDS&lt;/STRONG&gt; system variable to 1 .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Command: DYNPICOORDS&lt;BR /&gt;Enter new value for DYNPICOORDS &amp;lt;0&amp;gt;: 1&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I always drew a rectangle by selecting the rectangle icon, then picking the first point on the screen and then entering length and width, i.e. 10, 5 (both are positive) and get a 10 wide x 5 tall rectangle. Now I get all kind of crazy stuff, but I do not get a&amp;nbsp;10 wide x 5 tall rectangle. Help?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Did you not &lt;EM&gt;specify the Dimensions option&lt;/EM&gt; before typing in the sizes?&amp;nbsp; If it was going into that option without your calling for it, you probably had a differently-defined RECTANG command that called up that option for you.&amp;nbsp; Or, maybe what you really typed was with the relative-displacement trigger:&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,5&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Start the command, pick a corner, and type D for the Dimensions option [or hit your down-arrow key and pick the option from the pull-down].&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;make sure your DYNMODE [F12] is ON, value 3 is default,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and DYNPICOORD is set to 0.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Type in DYNPICOORD&amp;lt;enter&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;enter&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and try it again.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
