    Otrack doesn't work -- no vector appears

    Otrack doesn't seem to work no matter what I try. I've checked all the options and of course have otrack selected as active but no little indicator appears when I hover over a point and no vector appears when I move the crosshairs away.

     

    Any suggestions?

    Might be a dumb question, but do you have a command active?

    yes.

     

    It seems like a glitch. I used otrack all the time with 2011. I just upgraded to 2012 and otrack hasn't worked at all. Polar tracking works just fine though.

    Have had a lot of funny stuff happen but the otrack has performed reliably. Osnaps on?

    You have running OSnaps turned on, right?

    Try switching to a different profile to see if it works there, then switch back and check your primary profile

    Does changing the TRACKPATH setting help?

    That did it! Thanks a ton. I thought I had tried that already but I guess not. Thanks
