This problem is a little difficult to explain, so bear with me. I am currently running Acad Mecanical 2005, when I go to draw an angle at say 45 degrees, I normally hit the line command and type in <45 in the command line and hit enter. This "locks" my line in at that angle and I can drag the line as long as I want. The problem is when I click to finish drawing, the line snaps to when ever my cursor is on the screen, totally screwing up my 45 degree line, This never happen in 2002. Any suggestions, Thanks

This may or may not help you but I got used to using polar snaps since they
came out and find I much more usable then direct inputs and ortho modes. Try
it, you might find it works better (F10).
