Hints & Tips<\/h1>\n

Q:<\/b>\u00a0I often use the temporary reference point, but I would like to see both absolute coordinates and relative coordinates, without toggling the reference point on and off.<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0<\/b>The menu command Measure>> Coordinate Axes toggles the display of the coordinate axes. They are shown along the upper and left borders of the layout window. The current cursor position is shown by running marks on these axes. Therefore if you switch the axes on and set a reference point, you may see the relative cursor position at the Metric bar, as well as the absolute cursor position at the coordinate axes, see Figure 1. Cursor cross-hairs may be helpful in this case as well.<\/p>\n
