Drawing diagonal lines seems to display the horizontal distance in the prompt

Drawing diagonal lines seems to display the horizontal distance in the prompt, how can I make it show the correct diagonal distance instead?

In the attached screenshot I've drawing a line from the bottom right to the top of the triangle but in the dynamic prompt it shows the horizontal distance of 75.72 instead of the diagonal distance of 100.

It used to work properly because I've always used polylines to measure distances in my drawings but recently something changed and now I have this issue and I'm not sure what I could have changed to cause it.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

It's showing like that because the second point format is set to "cartesian". You need to change it to "Polar" format to get what looking for. Type in the command "DYNPIFORMAT" and set it to "0" :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:
