orthogonal lines are sizing to infinity

oneloosecrank
Hi guys,
I'm trying to add orthogonal lines and the preview line is showing at the correct value, but upon placing it as an entity the line stretches to infinity. I can select the line anywhere along its length and I can't find an end when zooming out. Resizing using autozoom to fit the drawing to screen shows me the original drawing and doens't attempt to fit the infinite lines. Changing the size of the line doesn't fix it.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a "Help Layer":

I just updated that article because help layers are now called construction layers.
