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
