design sequence of segments

[Anonymous]

I have difficulties in creating a sequence of segments.

In Sketch, I draw the first segment, then, before drawing the following segment, I try to assign length and angle; when I do that, most of the times, the first segment turns from black to cyan and  the following segment looks to be an arc, not a segment, also cyan.

I feel I am doing something wrong with the mouse: which is the correct way to do that ? Where can I find information with the correct use of mouse ?

Thank you.

So far it looks good.

Can you finish it now?

Jeff,

I understand that is very difficult to make a perfect diagnosis of the problem without almost any documentation.

The paper clip that I just sent looks OK to me: I draw the clip for the geometry, and afterwards I quoted all the segments.

I think that you are right, the problem resides on how I use the mouse: I feel that I should practice a bit until I find out the best way not to have problems any more.

Thank you.

I will do it tomorrow, as it is somehow late here in Italy.

Thanks to you for the support.
