All those variables!
All those variables!
(OP)
Hi all,
At the LINE command, when I type the following,
<45
enter
120
enter
I get a line at 45 deg. 120 units long. A coworker does the same and his lines are infinite in length. Is there a variable setting possibly on his machine that would cause this?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Check to see if polar tracking is toggled on. This will cause the drawing crosshairs to "snap" to any predefined angled increment. To turn off polar tracking, pick the POLAR on the status bar or use the [F10] function key. Note that a tooltip on the alignment path should be present if polar tracking is on.

Thanks for the tips but I had overlooked something so obvious. When I was showing this co-worker, I already had a drawing open and everything displayed fine. Turns out that he had started a new drawing with limits of 0,0 12,9
Of course the 120 inch line flew out of the screen. If he had tried a 2" line, he would have seen the same results as when I showed him.
Thanks again,

This works for pretty much any thing, like move copy, stretch, etc. Just move the mouse in the direction you want and type the distance.
