Why does the guide not lock orthogonally?

Description:

Elements are not being drawn orthogonally despite holding the Shift key. As a result, the guide does not snap horizontally or vertically. Consequently, the drawn elements cannot be created perpendicularly or parallel. How to correct this issue?

Solution:

1. Check Grid Settings
   • Navigate to: View > Grid & Editing Planes Options
   • Ensure that "Orthogonal Grid" is activated instead of "Rotated Grid."

2. Check Workspace Settings
   • Navigate to: Options > Work Environment > Input Constraints and Guides
   • Ensure the option "Horizontal and Vertical" is activated.
   • Navigate to: Options > Work Environment > Tracker and Coordinate Input
     • Under Coordinate Input Logic, only the following options should be active:
       • Prefer polar coordinates in Tracker during straight vector input
       • Coordinate shortcuts prefer Tracker
       • Enable direct numeric input into Tracker fields
       • Use relative angle measures

Next Steps:

• Elements already placed can be checked for orthogonality using the Element Orientation Check. This label tool can be downloaded here.
