"FROM" COMMAND NOT WORKING

I have just migrated my draftsight over to a new PC running W10 from one running W7. I have noticed that this function now does not work, and I use it frequently. For example, I want to change the width of a rectangle to a new specific dimension. I would select STRETCH, click the top right corner of the rectangle as the base point, select the FROM command, click the top left hand corner of the rectangle, and type the new size, say 3346mm or whatever. Likewise the same principle for copy or move to a specific dimension. The result of this now is that it simply stretches the distance input from the original base point, so just as if I had not invoked the FROM command.

Can anyone explain whats happened here, and how to rectify it please?

I have asked this question before but cannot seem to get an answer.
