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.
