As you can see in the photos above- this is after I gave a specific line dimension and angle, second point of my line always goes and attaches itself to YX axis point no matter what I do. This also happens if I try to move an object in a specific direction to a specific point.

 

 

As for the measure command it asks me to enter an option and when i type d for distance ( although I already chose meausure distance command itself) it again asks me to select first and second point then again to enter an option until I exit the command with no measurement.

Hi @maryada_k ,

 

1/ To enable relative coordinates for direct input use menu Tools -> Drafting Settings, then select Dynamic input tab and pick on "Settings" button under "Pointer input" :

Activate "Relative coordinates" option active in "Format" section:

 Save settings with OK button.

 

2/ After you complete distance measurement, you can exit MEASUREGEOM command with Esc key or by selecting "eXit" option:

Command:
MEASUREGEOM
Move cursor or [Distance/Radius/Angle/ARea/Volume/Quick/Mode/eXit] <eXit>: d
Specify first point:
Specify second point or [Multiple points]:
Distance = 100.0000,  Angle in XY Plane = 0,  Angle from XY Plane = 0
Delta X = 100.0000,  Delta Y = 0.0000,   Delta Z = 0.0000
Enter an option [Distance/Radius/Angle/ARea/Volume/Quick/Mode/eXit] <Distance>: X
Command:

No I am doing all of this, just cross checked all the settings you mentioned it is still not working, you think my account could have a bug or something?

Sorry, I didn't notice that you have Dynamic Input disabled

With Dynamic Input disabled you need to type:

@5'<0

and hit Return after you pick the first point of line.
