Origin - tracker always relative to origin

Anonymous — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 01:16:00 GMT

When I try to input anything in the tracker the distances are always relative to the origin. Its tremendously frustrating and not this way on other computers in the office.

When I start any line, measurement, etc. it also always tries to reference it to the origin.

How do I shut this off so the tracker is relative to the objects actual settings? (meaning if I increase the height of a wall in 3D it should be relative to its previous height, not relative to 0)

As I suspected, it is also governed by the COORDINATES BOX toggle. Check the DELTA (symbol) next to the X,Y, R,A boxes...

You are right about the delta symbol. That fixed it. Thank you very much!
