How to use coordinates to quickly locate the add line operation on OrCAD X Presto PCB

Hi brothers, I have been learning OrCAD X Presto PCB recently. Is there a way to accurately and quickly input coordinate positioning like Allegro editor when using add line drawing?

For example:

Enter command x 10 100

I've been working on this problem for a long time, and it seems like I haven't found a good solution.

I feel like OrCAD X PCB Presto 24.1 is still just a semi-finished product, and many basic functions haven't been developed yet.

Just like when designing PCB Footprint, you cannot modify or input the coordinates of the two ends of the 2D line。

Yeah, I've tried different ways and it's a no go for that one. Only solution seems to be open the board file into the legacy tool, edit the line and then save and re open Presto.

I'm hoping the October update will bring a resolution to some of these issues.

Thank you for your reply.

As you mentioned, the best solution currently is to go back to the Allegro editor and use coordinate positioning to draw the silkscreen 2D line of the PCB footprint.
