It does not seem to matter if free snap is on or off, Restrict Orthangonal forces you to start a line from somewhere on the x or y plane of the Relative Zero Point. This behavior is shared with (inherirted from?) Qcad, and departs from the Autocad convention. I know the way its been done for 40 years is not always right, but in this case the fixation on relative zero is limiting.
