Problem when inputting coordinates.

I am using the AutoCAD 2018 educational version for the first time, although I have used earlier versions of AutoCAD previously, and am having a problem with the line command when inputting coordinates.  I am drawing an architectural drawing and have set the drawing limits to 144’, 86’. I am attempting to draw two diagonal lines to locate the center of the space defined by the limits.

The coordinates of the first line are: Start point = 0,0 End point = 144’, 96’.

A diagonal line is drawn from the lower left-hand corner of the limits to the upper right-hand corner of the limits.

The coordinates of the second line are: Start point = 0,96’ End point = 144’, 0.

A diagonal line should be drawn from the upper left-hand corner of the limits to the lower right-hand corner of the limits.

This is not happening. Instead a horizontal line is being drawn across the top of the limits, from point = 0,96’ to point = 144’, 96’.

The only way to draw a diagonal line from the upper left-hand corner of the limits to the lower right-hand corner of the limits is to enter the coordinates: Start point = 0,96’ End point = 144’, -96’.

What am I doing wrong?
