Is this a bug (dragging)?

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 13:24:18 GMT

I'm working with the Coordinates Palette off, and really like the new 'Trakker' feature.

But sometimes the 'Trakker' is turned off (how did that happen?) and I don't notice it's gone, because you don't miss what you never had, right?

However, with neither the Coordinates Palette or the Trakker showing, the command combination "Drag, R, dimension" still appears to work - except the value of R seems not to be recognised, so your dragged element can be placed, well, anywhere!

Is this a bug?

Check your Tracker-related settings in the Work Environment Dialog. Maybe the behaviour is related to one of the settings there.
I know the Tracker can be turned On and OFF.

It is a bug., The Tracker turns itself off randomly (not veru often here though). Let's hope it's fixed in the first Hotfix (should be available soon after the Mactel release, I hope)

Okay - turning the Tracker back on is an easy matter, once you realise it's off.

But my real problem is the functionality when the Tracker is off.

In Release 9, you needed to have the coordinates box displaying in order to use "drag, R, distance-factor"

In Release 10, with the coordinates box OFF and the Tracker OFF, you can still use "drag, R, distance-factor", but the distance-factor appears to be randomized. This is very worrying because sometimes it's nearly right!
