Help using command line

b_a_day1382 — Wed, 28 May 2025 10:24:01 GMT

While trying to create a drawing using the command line I first type in the command "L 50,100" to set the starting point but when I try to use the command line to enter the second command "200,100" it will only enter 200 in the box on the line to be drawn so I can not enter a command. IE it will only allow me to enter the length of the line, not the next plot point. I have tried clicking in the command box but as soon as I type it goes right back to the box

How do I stop this and enter all commands through the command line?

Hi,

Press the F12 key to toggle Dynamic Input on and off then see if any changes when you turn it off.
