Dimensioning

Still new (week 3) to AutoSketch, so please be gentle with me.

I see in the lower right corner a sm. rectangular box which has
coordinates for x and y as your pointer moves across the screen.
Is there a way to "zero" these coordinates as you start to draw
a new line so you can follow the dimensioning as you draw?

thanks in advance

 

As you start to draw, you should see coordinates in a box just to the
right of the one you are talking about, relative to where you clicked
last. If there is nothing showing in that box, then right-click on it
and select PROPERTIES. Make sure Absolute and Relative are checked on
the Coordinate Display tab. I think that achieves what you are
looking for.

Don't ever hesitate to ask questions. That's how you learn. By you
asking that question, I just stumbled on right clicking that box and
noticed the properties option, even though mine was already setup as I
indicated above.
