Re: [guide-user] Re: How to measure exact PA and distance between 2 objects

Hi Harald,

I was about to reply that you should look in Settings... Toolbar for
a "Distance/PA between last two clicked points" option. You should
select this, and see if Guide tells you that the Insert (or Num-0)
key is selected as the hotkey for that function.

However, I now see that you cannot actually do this, because
that function is not listed in the Toolbar dialog!

But you _can_ do this. Select any other option in the Toolbar
dialog. Then click on the hotkey button. Guide will show a list
indicating which functions are associated with which hotkeys. Look
down through the list for Num-0. I think you will find that it is
no longer linked to the "distance/PA" function.

If so, please send me the files 'hotkey.dat' and 'toolbar.dat'
from your Guide folder. I will analyze them here and see if I can
puzzle out how this happened.
