drawing a line at an angle

(OP)
I'm using Draftsight v1r4, WIN XP SP3. Something happened in the last few minutes and for some reason I can't draw a line at an angle, any angle. It seems fixed so that I can only draw horizontal or vertical. What's going on? Is there a setting to undo this?

RE: drawing a line at an angle

Look at the bottom of your screen, and check if Ortho is on. Make sure that it is off and that Polar is on.

Thanks! I must have turned it on by accident.

RE: drawing a line at an angle

"F8" key toggles Ortho mode On/Off.
