Can't draw an angled line - Why?

    I have several drawings (AC2K) created by someone else that won't
    allow me to draw a line at any angle other than horizontal or
    vertical. It also won't allow me to dimension at an angle.

    I know very little about Autocad - can someone tell me what is causing
    this?

    FWIW, if I create a new drawing, both drawing and dimensioning work
    "normally".

    Thanks.

    F1 ... Look up ORTHO mode.

    Try pressing F8 to switch ORTHO 'on' and 'off'.
