AutoCAD 2020 - Cursor not showing distance [NOT DYNAMIC INPUT]

How do I get the cursor to show the distance when I move my mouse away from the starting point? I've searched the help and forums and cannot find any information regarding my problem without the Dynamic Input being the culprit. I DO NOT mean Dynamic Input. I have included 2 pics, one without dynamic input on and this is what I am after. The second shows dynamic input on and this is not what I want. I had to open version 2017 to get Autocad to do this. I am currently running 2020. 

Thank you for any information you can give regarding this problem.

I selected F4 then Dynamic Input then checkbox for Enable Dim Input.  Is that what you want?

@drewVGXUA and @rbaker provided the answers that work for me

Options>Drafting tab under AutoTrack Settings check Display Auto Track tooltip

Then start Line command make sure Ortho is on and coordinates now show up next to cursor
