X-Y

I have one old file that I go back to occasionally, but it bugs me to have the x/y labels on the cross-hairs. I'm sure there's a setting in the Tools menu, but can't find it.
By the way, I love the "fat" cursor! Just found it; how long has it been there?

It's under the Snap Angle menu.

Hmmm I think I am renaming that menu to Grids. :mrgreen:

The Display X and Y toggle is in the Grids menu. The Show Zero toggle is also there, for those who use Relative Polar.

The usual situation when I like / need to toggle on Display X and Y - is when I have a drawing with a portion that is at an angle to the rest of the drawing. I typically use Dir/Dis mode, but if I am needing Get X/Y and my cursor is tilted with Tangents - and I don't have to wonder whether I need to Get X or Get Y.

Fat Cursor is a pretty new thing, and yes it is very helpful; especially when you use a Big Cursor.
