if you want to learn "how to draw a line using Direct distance entry in autocad 2018" then you came to the right place because here you will find "AutoCAD line command tutorial with an example".

there are basically 4 methods to draw the line in autocad and I have already shown three methods in the previous tutorial, and in this video, I have shown one method to "draw draw line in autocad 2018".
which is:
1) Direct distance entry in autocad : In the direct distance entry method, you draw a line by entering its distance and angle values. You use the Dynamic Input mode in this method. so you can also use this method to draw a line with an angle in autocad.


A simplified method of entering coordinates when the distance and direction from the last point are known is called Direct Distance Entry. In a nutshell, Direct Distance Entry eliminates the need for most keyboard entry of coordinates. Direct Distance Entry can be used anytime a command prompts for a point.


Introduction
Direct distance entry is one of those AutoCAD features that is often overlooked. This is rather unfortunate because it can be extremely useful and an amazing time-saver. Basically, direct distance entry enables you to draw an object, such as a line, by pointing in a particular direction with the cursor and entering a distance at the command line.

Direct Distance Entry (Command Modifier) Applies to AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD MEP, AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD P&ID, AutoCAD Plant 3D, AutoCAD Structural Detailing, & AutoCAD Utility Design.

Note: The direct distance entry method is not available while you are using temporary override keys for Ortho, object snap tracking, or polar tracking.
