can not enter coordinates to command line

[Anonymous]

i want to draw a line, so i enter first point as coordinates such as 3,5 that is fine

but when i want to enter the end of the line as coordinate, i can not. i click on command line, but if i write something, it doesnt appear on command line and for example if i still write 5,5, the end of the line is not at 5,5.

all i want is to draw a line with specifiying the first coordinate and end coordinate that is all

the first coordinate needs to be in the x,y format, not just "3"
the second coordinate needs to also be in the x,y format, not just "5"

Could that be your problem, you are assuming 3,5 is both coordinates?

If you are trying to use absolute coordinates instead, type #3,5 for the start point, then #5,5 for the end point.
Explanation:
#x,y tells AutoCAD you want absolute coordinates.
@x,y tells AutoCAD you want relative-to-the-last-point coordinates.

He is already inputting it as x,y format, read the post again.

@jamieson.crawford Why don't you reread the bottom half of my last reply about using @ and # to always get wat you want instead of assuming AutoCAD is automagically set by someone else somehow to give you what you seek each and every time.

Here is some extra reading for you about the correct system variable to change too https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Using-...

This used to be how it was set up.  Here's how to get it back that way:

1. "DSettings"

2. "Enable Pointer Input" settings

3. Change Format to "Absolute coordinates"

This is how I got it back to typing in actual coordinates and not using relative which takes it as a change to your current position and doesn't relate back to UCS zero.
