curious about orthomode feature in AC2020

I'm curious about some behavior I don't recall seeing before AutoCAD 2020.  I'm trying to use the DIST command to measure from a node perpendicular to a line.  This is what I typed in and what appeared on screen

 

'dist

Specify first point: _nod of

>>Enter new value for ORTHOMODE <0>:

Resuming DIST command.

of {here I clicked on a node}

Specify second point or [Multiple points]: _per to {here I clicked on a line}

Distance = 0.6982, Angle in XY plane = 270d55'7" {and so on}

 

What I would like to know is, what's AutoCAD doing where it says

 

>>Enter new value for ORTHOMODE <0>:

 

It doesn't seem to interfere with the command, I'm just wondering what's happening?
