Relative Zero not locking...bug?

So here's what I'm trying to do:  Make a line from the relative zero (not the absolute zero (red cross))

I set the relative zero (snap>set relative zero...then I click a place on the screen and the relative zero symbol is placed where i clicked.

I lock the relative zero (snap>lock relative zero)

Then I go to the command line and type: line (enter)

It tells me tom enter the coordinates...I do and they are ALWAYS set from the absolute zero, NOT the relative zero.

What gives?  Is this some sort of bug?

Thanks in advance.  I tried searching and found someone going step-by-step...I followed it, but it didn't work.

When entering 'Relative' coordinates in the command line you will always need to add the symbol @ in front of them, for example:
@100,100

@45<,100

etc...

THANKS!

I wish it said something about that in any of the write-ups or manuals.  Maybe I missed it, but hopefully someone will find this thread in the future and not have the same problem.  LibreCAD rocks!

Just tried it.  Works great!!

I just didn't read carefully enough.  I was tired!

Um...the response that the thread shows was deleted. Mind sharing what worked for you? The manual with LibreCAD was disabled, so this item is a bit obscure.

Hi,

the deleted post seems to be an issue with Nabble, maybe it returns again.

However, the solution was to enter relative coordinates with a leading @.
Enter coordinates, e.g. 100,100 is absolute from the origin (big red cross).
Enter @100,100 is the position 100 to the right and 100 up from the relative zero position (small red crossed circle).
