Hi Tomma,

To be honest, very hard for me to get your point. And another thing, this is LibreCAD, not FreeCAD. FreeCAD is a freeware 3D drawing while LibreCAD is 2D drawing.

My suggestion, please include drawing of what you want to ask. If you ask the equivalent tool of AutoCAD in LibreCAD, like what that tool in AutoCAD do. That will help us to understand you question.

But to be honest, this LibreCAD is very easy as long you have understanding in drawing. I myself I started from zero and I now may draw isotropic drawing. For example: if you want to draw horizontal line 20 units, than you need command line as below:
line (enter)
@20<0

That will do. And if you want to continue a vertical (positive) line from the edge of that previous line with 20 unit long, then you need to run this command:
line (enter)
@20<90

Where it will be started? The (x,y) coordinate is started from the left bottom corner which is marked with cross-red mark. There are started.
