What Am I doing wrong. With Ortho mode off. I can draw a line. Then use the parallel command to drawn a line. One end of the line is exactly correct The other is short.
How can I correct this? Does using a LCD screen have any effect?
Thanks,

Charles,
Check that your User Coordinate System (UCS)is set to World by typing UCS press Enter then type w. Then from the pull-down menu select View-->Look From-->Top
This will ensure that you are viewing the parallel lines from the correct direction.
Draw a line and offset it then check the dimensions and these should be correct.
The lines drawn in IntelliCAD are accurate to 16 decimal places and I suspect your lines may have a "Z" coordinate not equal to zero and you are viewing from a different angle.
Select the line and right click then select properties and check the "Z" value of both starting and ending points.
