working "relatively" with tracker

[Anonymous]

howdy

having some issues with tracker in v11

here is what i have done in v9

- draw a line
- place the user origin at the end of the line
- select another object on the drawing
- type in (say) x 200, y 200 and the object moves to 200,200 from the user origin

i can also do this in v11 if i have tracker switched off

if i have tracker switched on.... when i enter x 200, y 200 the object only moves relative to its starting point... not to the user origin

is there a setting i am missing somewhere....

thanks in advance

I think you need to check the absolute/relative button in your Coordinates Palette, it should be up, without the deltas showing, to get the behavior you describe.

You should also check your Tracker settings (Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > Tracker and Coordinate Input > Coordinate input logic) there is a check box for "Show X-Y Coordinates relative to User origin in Tracker".

thanks for the repy

prior to posting here i did in fact toggle both of the settings that you describe

i still could not seem to get it to work as required

maybe i am missing something

anyone else with insight.... would be greatly appreciated

for what it is worth.... OSX 10.4.10 and archiCAD v11 1040

thanks

problem appears to be solved

uninstalled and reinstalled archiCAD

seems to work as expected

a drastic fix for a small issue..... but none of the settings that should have worked seemed to

is it just me..... or does it feel like we have made a small step forward and a few steps back with v11... not only in functionality/usability but also in stability

thanks
