Angle/Scale issue in AutoCAD 2005

[Hexile]

Hello.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum category to post in, but if it's wrong please move it.

Anyway, I draw a line with the length 250 and an angle of 0 degrees.
Then i add another line, in the same step; length 20 and an angle of 90 degrees, the problem is that they end up with the wrong angles

Also, sometimes when i add something new it gets another scale which usually means the object is so large that i can't see the whole one even though i zoomed out as far as possible. This applies to lines, circles, imported blocks, etc...


Why does it keep happening?


And it doesn't matter if i work in a new file or an old one.

There's more than one way to create a line in autocad, what are the commands and steps you are using? What are your unit settings set to? Decimals, arch, engineer, etc. and your angle settings? For both the current dwg and the template (dwt) you use for new dwgs?

I basically just type l then put the starting point and then enter the length and angle, eg: @250<90

And the units are set to millimeter with "associative dimensions".


EDIT:

Oh, wait a sec. the keyboard layout changes when i switch to AutoCAD, now that's not an issue, as I have added it to a list of exceptions.


Don't know how i could've missed that

Excepted the keyboard?

No, AutoCAD.
