From a QCAD user:

How do I draw a line with a given length and angle? Can I enter dimensions without using the mouse to click the options toolbar?

You can use:

Draw > Line > Line from Angle

Or:

Draw > Line > Line from 2 Points

With length and angle set in the options toolbar.

You can use only the keyboard to enter the length and angle directly as shown in our shortcuts tutorial.

In keys, for a line that is 55.7 units long at 90 degrees that’s:

LI
<click start point>
55.7
<tab>
90

You can enter the polar coordinates of the end point as @55.7<90 in the command line instead of clicking the end point.
