Hello everyone,
I just need some help with rectangle drawing. I must've clicked on something that changed the settings somehow. When I select the rectangle command and select the first corner point, my AutoCAD decides that this point is (0,0) on the coordinate system. When I move the cursor top-right quadrant, that's fine because the dimensions are the same as the (x,y) axes. However, if I move the cursor towards any other quadrant, the negative sign appears depending on the quadrant I am in. how can I return the setting to the normal where I can move the cursor to the left or the right and still get a positive value for the length and width of my rectangle.
Note: This happens only with rectangle drawing. AutoCAD works fine when drawing lines and circles!!
Thanks

Hi,
>> my AutoCAD decides that this point is (0,0) on the coordinate system. <<
you can draw rectangles where ever you need and with different coordinate ... depending on what you discover that AutoCAD take ( 0,0 ) for the first rectangle point ?!
>> can move the cursor to the left or the right and still get a positive value for the length and width of my rectangle. <<
you may get that if you change DYNPICOORDS system variable to 1 .
Command: DYNPICOORDS
Enter new value for DYNPICOORDS <0>: 1

Thank you for your reply. Because its length and width of rectangle, I expect AutoCAD to take all values I key in as positive value, and draw the rectangle in the quadrant where my cursor is.
Thank you anyway!

I always drew a rectangle by selecting the rectangle icon, then picking the first point on the screen and then entering length and width, i.e. 10, 5 (both are positive) and get a 10 wide x 5 tall rectangle. Now I get all kind of crazy stuff, but I do not get a 10 wide x 5 tall rectangle. Help?

Did you not specify the Dimensions option before typing in the sizes? If it was going into that option without your calling for it, you probably had a differently-defined RECTANG command that called up that option for you. Or, maybe what you really typed was with the relative-displacement trigger: @Anonymous,5.
Start the command, pick a corner, and type D for the Dimensions option [or hit your down-arrow key and pick the option from the pull-down].

Hi,
make sure your DYNMODE [F12] is ON, value 3 is default,
and DYNPICOORD is set to 0.
Type in DYNPICOORD<enter>0<enter>
and try it again.
