cursor issues

[jrettew7C628]

back on ACAD 2016. when i want to draw a line that starts near the end of another line, the cursor will not give me a reference line....

----------

                ___________

i leave my cursor on end point of first line until it says "endpoint". i then try tro move cursor in any direction and it will not give me the rubber band or anything?

Is the problem in ALL files, or just this one?
Rotated UCS by chance?
QPMODE set to?
OPTIONS command>Selection Tab> are all the 'preview'options on?

Is your UCS and WORLD variables set to anything other than WORLD? make that change now.

Otherwise you will need to reset LT2016, ask your new office IT/Cad Manager for help backing up your customizations if any first.

Type UCS then hit ENTER key on your keyboard twice.
Type PLAN then hit ENTER key on your keyboard twice.

not really something i can take pic of. 

1) draw a line

2) place cursor on end point.

a) wait for cursor to "find" end point

3) move cursor to start new line, say, 2" below.

a) there is no "aligning" line or reference (rubber band) to the first line's end point

Thanks.
