Where are my coordinates?

Hi,

Usually, when I f.eks build a wall, a box with coordinates appeares automatically. So lets say I want to build a 2000mm long wall with the wall tool. I can then click to mark where the wall will start, point out the direction and just type the numbers 2000 and press enter.
This little box that makes this possible is gone and I just can't find where to activate it again. And I miss it so much... 😛
It's great for working wit x's, y's and angles also.

I have been able to activate a larger box that reminds alot of it, but this one in stuck at the buttom of the screen and don't follow the cursor.


One other quick question: When I build f.eks a wall, it used to snap to angles. But now it doesn't anymore. So my wall may be made at 89,4° instead of 90°. Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It sounds like you should redefine your work environment; that is where the settings you mention are located.

You need to turn on the "Tracker" for the distances and the "Guidelines" for the angles.
