ACAD @ not working 1

[cadshite]

Anyone know why when, for example, you goto draw a rectangle, and you want it to be say 100x100, you type in @100x100. But for some reason in Acad 2006 & 2007 the @ often doesn't appear, as though the keyboard is faulty (it isn't). This problem occurs on all our cadstations.
Any ideas??

Hi,
I would type @100,100..

ADT 2004
ACAD 2002

Ok smart ****! you know what i mean, even @100,100 has the same strange hit and miss with the @.
Never had this problem with any release below 2006....

If your OSnap is set and there are entities within the apeture box, Acad may snap to the entitiy instead of your @100,100. You try Non @100,100 to see if that helps. I have also seen trouble if the @100,100 is outside the Limits of the drawing.

I don't know about regular AutoCAD but in Civil 3D
they removed it and it bugs me to no end.
