ok looking at your file, you have the length snapping off, good, you have a 1/16" precision display. I assume from your description you’re trying to do it free hand ? just with the mouse ? have you tried typing the value directly ? start your line, give it a direction, and type 1 5/8 then press e…

Yes I did try typing directly. Didn’t work.

There’s no reason it shouldn’t have worked if you did it correctly. What exactly were your steps? [line]

[image] skipmacdonald: Yes I did try typing directly. Didn’t work. hmm. if it had been freehanded, it could have been a case of “you need to zoom a bit” but here… Hm. From time to time I see people who type then click (instead of pressing enter). that results in minor mouse movement and th…

ouuuh a movie ! :slight_smile: nice :slight_smile: I see the problem. you’re forgetting the space between feet (foot?) and inches. 1 5/8" means 1’ 5/8" you’re writing 15/8 in the video, meaning 15/8". 15/8 is 8/8 + 7/8 therefore it’s 1 7/8" Try adding the space or adding the ’ after the 1. it …

[image] ateliernab: 1 5/8" means 1’ 5/8" Actually not 1’ 5/8". That would be the same as 12 5/8 in. It would be one and 5/8 inches written as 1 5/8". :wink: [image] skipmacdonald: I always use inferencing. If you want precise dimensions you need to be entering the values and you need …
