For over 30 years I've mostly been a typed-in "Relative Distance and Angle"-input guy, but I've started to use the "DirectionDistance"-input due to a current project with numerous grid-angles. It's just too confusing remembering where the 0-angle or East/North is for each orthograghy. Some grids are less than one-degree apart. Nothing is on a clean North- South grid or perpendicular. I've been using Grid-angle-match or 2-pts to navigate between orthographies.
I'm getting the hang of DirDist ...but I can't figure out how to place snap-points in DirDist. It's really tedious switching back and forth between Rel. DistAngle and DirDist. laying out drawing elements using snap-points, or using perpendicular offset...then erasing. I'm wasting time/effort with mistakes.
I live and die on snap-points for measuring and layout-work.
I have X21 installed, but I'm still using X18 for this project's drawings just "because".
