ReMark Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Check to see if he has Polar Tracking enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
084x4larry Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks Remark... checked that and no it is not enabled... I took a closer look at what it is doing and so what it is is when he is making a line; picks first point; then as he drags his cursor it's like autocad is making a dimension with dotted lines and giving a distance in real time as he moves the cursor... it disappears after he picks the second point but it is very distracting and we cant figure out how to turn it off!! I've been an autocad user for 28 years but never seen this before... hmmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlanorh Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Looks as if dymanic mode is on. Check sysvar "DYNMODE" and set to 0 to turn off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
