How do I turn on cordinates and rotation angle

I used to be able to see dynamically the rotation angle and cords.  for instance, in the rotate command as i rotate with mouse i want to see the angle.  If anyone knows how to turn this option on would be great thanks so much.

Thanks so much

Try pressing the F12 key to turn on the dynamic input.

If you mean out in the drawing near the cursor, then yes, F12 will turn that on.

 

You also have the option to see it in the status bar [with or without also seeing it at the cursor].  Pick the "hamburger" icon at far lower right, and check Coordinates at the top of the list.  Then in your example, you will see coordinates displayed in the status bar.  It has three modes, so if it's only showing X,Y,Z coordinates as you move the cursor, or if it's static until you pick somewhere, just pick in the coordinates display or press Ctrl+I [that's a capital letter I] to cycle between the modes, and you can get to where it shows distance and angle.  The mode is stored in the COORDS System Variable.
