Hello there! I have prior experience using AutoCAD, and I was quite familiar with its command line. Now, I'm attempting to use LibreCAD to draw a building, but I'm encountering difficulties when entering the lengths of lines the way I want. Specifically, I'd like to draw a line from the current point to the right, spanning 43 feet and 9 inches. In AutoCAD, I could achieve this by using a command like: @43'-9<0. However, I've attempted various combinations in LibreCAD, and unfortunately, I keep getting an "Expression Syntax error" no matter how I try it. I'm wondering if this kind of command is possible in LibreCAD. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
