Hello:
I just started using NanoCAD, and ran into this issue. I am used to using AutoCAD, in which I can input a line by using the @, then the length of the line, and the < symbol, followed by the angle of the line. My problem is this: when I set up my direction and angle in the UNITS dialog, and change it from the default (CCW, East), then the angles come out all wrong. I don't mean that they are off by 90°, which you'd think it would be since I set North to be my Direction. Instead, the angles are basically all over the map.
For instance, I set my direction as north, and checked the "clockwise" box. I then put in the command "L,LINE - Line by Points
Specify next point: @10<275
Instead of a line from my origin running just north of due west, it gave me a line running just east of due south. When I click on the line the properties show it as a 95° line. I'm not sure why this is taking place, perhaps I have something set up wrong. If so, please advise on how to fix.
Thanks!

Line input by length and angle, but angle is incorrect!
