Pop_up Palette shows XY instead of RA

Anonymous

Hi All,
All my previous versions up to ArchiCAD 16 have default pop-up info palette (during constructing/drawing/moving) showing distance and angle (R and A values). Very handy. ArchiCAD 17 has X and Y coordinates instead of it. Useleless to me. See attached printscreen (Polish versions). How to change it to R and A?

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
