distance command question

When starting the distance command and picking your first point you can see a tracking line (or whatever you would call it) so you know where you started...But in one particular drawing i dont see that line that is supposed to move with your cursor. Every other drawing i've looked at you can see it.......I guess a work around would be just creating a new drawing but does anyone know if that is a system variable that controls this or something?....

DRAGMODE may be the variable.

Make sure that you have F11 turned on in the particular

drawing that you are having the trouble with.

In order for this to work you will need to have your OSNAPS turned on, and or, at least one, say endpoint selected.

You could use F12 to turn on your DYNAMIC INPUT, then you should be very happy.

Why didn't you say that initially?

Sorry, I was late to this particular party, it started at 11:21 pm local time.

dragmode or the other stuff posted didnt work....Or i should say dragmode does work but as i investigated further i realized that the line is there but in this particular drawing it's black. So i just couldnt see it on a black background...What would make that tracking line black in one drawing like that?

What is the LAYER COLOR set to?

Try using color 7 in the LAYER MANAGER as the color for your 0 layer, which will be black on a white background, and white on a black background.
