Hi,
I'm a new user to the paid for DS and am tryimg to find my way around the latest version.
As far as I know, honest guv, I didn't touch anything!
I've lost the tool commands displayed at the btm of the Drg screen that give command options to activate Snap, Grid, Ortho, & Polar.
There may have been others but these I remember.
They were missing when I opened DS after not using it for a few weeks.
Any ideas what I've done to loose these & how I can reinstate them?
From a web search I found key strokes to use the functions but would prefer to have the simple "tick box's" back if I can.
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks.
