Hi Dellus, Tomma.

I am not sure that this explanation will help you. I did curious with that "ortho", so I searched over the net, and I found this explanation from AutoDesk and youtube. Ortho (orthogonal) means is that the cursor movements are limited to vertical or horizontal only, which is means cursor can only move either 0, or 90, or 180, or 270 degree only. Of course, there is tool for it in LibreCAD, three tools: Restrict Orthogonal (command: rr), restrict horizontal (command: rh), and restrict vertical (command rv). And to free all those restrictions, there is Restrict Nothing (command line: rn). The detail command for command line you may find them here: https://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/Commands

To activate that tool (in my LC 2.2.0 RC1), from "Widgets => Toolbars => Snap Selection"
