Technical Issue: Unable to draw lines manually (Point-to-Point)

Dear PadSystem Support Team, ​I am writing to seek assistance with a drawing issue I am encountering in the software. ​I am trying to use the Line Tool to draw a line manually from one point to another by clicking on the screen. However, I am facing the following problem: ​After I click to set the first point, the software immediately opens a pop-up input box asking for the Length and Angle values. ​It does not allow me to click a second point on the screen to finish the line manually (Freehand/Point-to-point). ​Even when I try to move the mouse, I cannot "set" the second point unless I manually type in the numerical values in the dialog box. ​I would like to know how to switch from "Precise Input Mode" back to "Manual/Freehand Drawing Mode" so I can simply click from point to point. Is there a specific setting or a "toggle key" (like Shift or Ctrl) that I should use to enable manual drawing? ​I have attached screenshots of the tool I am using and the input box that keeps appearing. ​Thank you for your time and assistance. ​Best regards

Click the left mouse button once and move the mouse to draw the segment. Then move the mouse to the second point and click to finish drawing the segment. A pop-up box will appear, but you can still move your mouse to draw to the second point as needed.

Please check how to draw segments in our FAQ at the link: https://wiki.padsystem.com/doku.php?id=en:pattern:patterndesignch3#segment
