Strange Tracker behaviour

[Anonymous]

Tracket shows incorrect values in Layout book! The right value is the one in the Coordinate box. Any ideas?

Come on, is it just me?

You need to depress the delta/triangle buttons in the Coordinate bar so that the values for x, y, r and a are reported as values relative to the start point, rather than the origin of the layout, just like in model view.

(I scratched my head at first since I rarely use the coordinate palette now. From my last use, I had left my x/y delta depressed, and read tracker-matching values there - but the delta for r/a was up, and like you, I was seeing not only strange values in r, but also the angle "a" was not only not zero, but it kept changing as I was shift-dragging horizontally. Made me realize what the issue was.)

Cheers,

kliment:

I could not reproduce your problem, but you might check Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > Tracker and Coordinate Input > Show X-Y Coordinates relative to User origin in Tracker. Checking this or unchecking this, I could see no change, but maybe it makes a difference in your set up.

Thank you, David! This causes the problem, it should be unchecked to give the same values both in Coocrdinates and Tracker!
