Post by John Hyslop » Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:55 am

Hi All

Can anyone help me here please?
I can't remember when this started happening but I would like to know how I can turn this off..
It appears to display the distance from the last point..

Cheers

That is triggered by the Function Key "F8" on your Keyboard ...

It is a multi mode switch - hit it multiple times until it suits your needs.

Nice! However must move the pointer to see update as just pressing F8 will not change display until pointer moved. (A suggestion?)

I was thinking about this ....
After a few sleepless nights I gave this to my Problemsolver department so that they can come up with a permanent solution. Now I know why I have to pay them so much every month - they found the solution immediately:

Use a double sided tape and add a Thump tack upside down on the F8 key. My team anticipate that your bad habit will be permanently broken with the next attempt to use F8 ...
