HELP: I can't type measurements when creating a rectangle

Naturally, when you make a rectangle in the program, you can type the measures or numbers, for example, 60 comma 60, to make a square.

But for some reason I do not longer have the option, it does not appear, and if I try to do it through the properties, it becomes 3D.

dynamic input on?

Can you do a screenshot of what you’re seeing on the screen with the command prompts as you attempt to draw your rectangle?

Hi,

You can get it either by typing @60,60 OR make sure that Dynamic Input (F12) is ON .

CUI Macro, create button or shortcut menu? Saves some keystrokes maybe...
