Setting the Waiting Mode


Set the waiting mode on or off.

The waiting mode allows you to input commands and parameters, which are not executed until you turn the mode off. This mode is a very useful tool when specifying positions during creation or manipulation operations. It is activated and deactivated by pressing the icon on the status line that also indicates the status of the mode.
NOTE Enter the waiting mode with the icon only.
For example, you want to draw a line to a point 10 m along the x axis from an existing point. start the line at a given point.. Set the waiting mode on. Snap the line to the existing point. No line is created at this stage because of the waiting mode. Enter the displacement from the known point: dx 10. Cancel the waiting mode by pressing the icon again. The line is now created to the desired point.
