    Orthographic orientation

    I think my orthographic setting has been turned off. ( allowing only horiz or vert lines). How can I turn it back on? I have HD Pro V 10

    Are you saying you are having camera tool problems or problems drawing with lines, arcs and walls? Which please?

    Thank you, then I assume that you have "Angle Snaps" turned off which would make the drawing of straight lines difficult. Angle Snaps has an icon in the right-hand tool bar and or you can go to "Edit - Preferences - Snap Behavior" and turn them on. Angle snaps will allow the drawing of lines or walls in 7.5 degree increments along any axis, with them turned off you can draw without that limitation. Commonly you leave Angle Snaps "on" unless you need to draw something off angle and when done, turn it right back on.
