Hello everyone:

I am a beginner just self learning how to draft (working the film industry). I noticed that when I'm doing a drawing (let's say a floor plan) and im using the line tool to draw the perimeter, I often get these lines that are connected by weird angles (see attached photos). I often don't notice until ive finished the perimeter, then seeing these weird things I'll have to delete up to it and redraw.

 

The way I'm drawing is using the line tool, typing in the length, then angle, press enter, repeat.

 

Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong, and what the actual best practice would be?

 

Thanks!

Use ORTHO often, there is no need to use angle all the time.

Did you use Close for the last segment of the perimeter?
