Wall Length now shown when drawing a wall

[Jay82]

Hey Everyone using X5
Simple question and it probably has something to do with my settings.
Previously when I drew a wall in CA it would give me a running total of the distance of said wall as I dragged my cursor along. The last couple times I have used CA the running total is gone, so I do not know how far I have drew each wall with out manually going up and dimensioning each wall after I draw it. Its a real pain you do not realize how nice the running total for dimensioning is until you loose it.

Can someone tell me how to get it back!!

Go to preferences, it's somewhere in there.

could also be the temporary dimension tool

Not a Preference, but a Default with a complication.

The primary setting is at Defaults...Walls...General Wall...Show Wall Length.

If you toggle that on, you still need to toggle on Temporary Dimensions for the wall length to display.
So...you can have Temporary Dimension toggled on, but have Show Wall Length toggled off.

Sorry Jay, I was going off memory, not in prefs but in defaults per Glenn.

Thanks guys!

Got it fixed. I wonder how I ever turned it off!

Even with it turned off, wall length still shows in the little window on the lower right.
