fostertom Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Acad 2006 - DISTANCE is weird. a) it often causes an autosave instead of giving a distance reading b) and now it won't give a distance - just Delta X, Y and Z - except within the 90o sector from vertical to horizontal rightward. What's going on? Quote
Cad64 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 a) It's not causing an Autosave, that's just a coincidence. Maybe you have your Autosave set to save too frequently? b) You need to expand your command area. Hover your cursor over the bar, between the command area and your layout tabs, and then click and drag up. Quote
fostertom Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 You're right - about b) - thanks, simple, stupid! But a) I swear it, can't be coincidence, but is 10mins too often? Quote
Cad64 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 No, 10 minutes is a good save tiime. Trust me, it's just a coincidence. It happens to everyone. I know it may seem like there's something wrong, but there isn't. If there was a problem, where commands were getting crossed somehow, it would happen every time you use the Distance command, not just sometimes. Quote
lpseifert Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 If you didn't already know.... Distance is a system variable Use Dist to find the distance between 2 points Quote
