Try break point close to where you think it is and then steo it from there

Watch the bottom-left corner, it will (sometimes) tell you WHAT it is currently measuring. Also, if you click on STOP in the execture window and use one of the pull-downs, it might tell you what feature it is measuring (I am not sure if this is in all the versions or not).

V3.7 also leaves an arrow at the line where you cancelled (viewable in command mode)
V3.2063 do WTS & or WMS

Mackcmm,
In version 3l.7 mr2 and up, it will leave a red left side arrow in the edit window

Breakpoints are wonderful. As it runs it will highlight the line it is running, when it crashes that line stays highlight so you know where it is.

Do you know the ID of the feature or can you find it in the graphics display window?

In v3.7 you can right click on a feature label and select "move cursor to". That will put the cursor at the point in the program where the feature is measured.

Or, if you know the ID go to edit/find and type in the id and click "find next".

red arrow on off????

Mackcmm,
How do I turn it on? I use 3.7, 4.1 and 4.2 at work. I need to impress my boss because he find it. It is on in the 3.7 machine, but not the others, and it's driving him crazy. I need the browny points very badly.

Rightclick in the edit window and choose 'Add breakpoint' or something similar?

Either in the commandtextportion of the window or in the grey area just left of the textportion.

Toggle bookmarks (Ctrl+F2) are useful when tweaking programs.

WOW, a 15 month resurrection!!!!

The indicated area in the screenie below has the icons for breakpoint and bookmark in 3.7. Breakpoint looks like a hand, bookmark like a flag. You put the cursor on a line of code in the edit window and then click one or the other. Breakpoint will put a red dot to the left of that line of code. Program execution will pause at that line until "Continue" is clicked. Bookmark puts a small blue rectangle to the left of the code line. Either of these marks can be toggled off by putting your cursor on the line again and clicking the appropriate icon. Both also have a second, similar looking icon which will clear all breakpoints or bookmarks. In the case of the bookmarks, there is an icon that will let you jump from one bookmark to the next. (these are greyed out in the example below because there are no breakpoints/bookmarks in this program)
