Line Measurement

[Anonymous]

I am entering a line measurement but it is not setting line to entered measurement. Whatever measurement I enter it still allows me to extend line etc. I tutorial video I am using instructor is entering a line Measurement and it is drawing line to that dimension but it won’t on mine! I have tried changing units to Engineering etc but still no joy. Can anyone help please?

HI,

if you turn OFF Dynamic Input ( F12 ) , any changes ?

Hi. No doesn’t make a difference

[imadHabash]

can we have a screenshot for your issue while LINE command is active ?

Can you give more details?

You start the LINE command.

Pick a starting point.

Drag the cursor out and then enter a number and then what?

Can you grab a screenshot of the command line during this action?

Ok. I have sent a picture of my screen. I have drawn these lines and entered a measurement of 5cm for each line. The 5cm instruction did not work and allowed me to carry on drawing until I clicked the mouse. My units are set to decimal and centimetres.

Still no picture.  If you are replying to an e-mailed notice on a cell phone, that would be the reason.  You need to be on a "real" computer and on the website in a browser.

@Kent1Cooper  - I've always heard that too, and I have seen mobile users say the same, but I just tested it and it worked just fine.

I wonder why it works in some cases and not in others?

Sounds like you are looking for Parametric dimensioning.

I’m pretty new to this so can you elaborate please? What is it and how do I resolve issue?

[GrantsPirate]

I tried attaching a video but doesn't look like it worked.   I will try again in a bit.
