Dynamic Input (help turning off)

[cadgal]

Hello

I want to turn the dynamic input off in my drawing (it bugs me!). I think I have it off for the most part, but when I use the dist command (to measure something) it pops back on. Not sure if it's popping back on for any other commands yet, the few I tried it didn't. but I need it to not come on at all.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

thanks

Mandi,

 

Set DYNMODE = 0

Thanks, it was set to -2, not sure what that means.

I think I found my problem is that I was using the "distance" tool button on the annotation ribbon panel (gosh, that's confusing!) instead of typing "dist" and that particular button/whatever it's called now is a different command than just "dist".

Ahh, ACAD 2010 - I do think I'm startign to hate you.

-2 means it's OFF, but it's retaining the value of 2, in case it gets turned back on.

 

I think the command you were using is MEASUREGEOM, not DIST. The former is the newer version of the DIST+AREA commands.
