odd problem

Anonymous · ‎2007-11-12

For some reason I cannot get the little window to pop up when you go to insert a line or a wall to specify the distance or angle. It was working yesterday, and I did not play with any of the preferences since then.

Any ideas on how I can get this back to working?

I'm using 11 on an Intel Mac

Thanks

Turn Tracker on. Mine keeps turning itself off every now and again too.

I think in the Work Environment Dialog there is a setting that controls whether the Tracker should be up always or only when needed during an operation.

Yep, it is controlled from within the WE and it still turns itself off despite the selecting "Always On".

I am having this problem, too. So is everyone else in the office. I haven't been able to identify a trigger, yet. For the time being, I would recommend that we change the term "settings" to "movings."

Philosophical issues between using the Coordinate Box vs. Tracker aside, the Tracker (esp. if using relative / polar coordinates) is one of the easier ways to transition ACAD users over to AC11. GS, please fix this Tracker issue!

it's a bug GS is aware of . . . and as far as i'm aware, they are yet to identify the trigger either. my hunch is that it is something to do with error reporting. obscure i know, but i'm sure that report window messes with the work environment when it puts in an appearance . . .
