Ok, what did I do...?

Ok, what did I do...?

(OP)
All right...this will probably end up being something very simple, but for the life of me I can't figure out what I did.

Usually when in a sketch if I select an entity (line, point, etc.), its properties come up in the property manager. I can choose "For construction", see what relations are associated with that entity and so on. If I want to add a relation to another entity, I just select it and choose the appropriate relation.

Likewise, if I choose the Trim Entities tool, I get the choice of corner, power trim, etc. in the properties manager.

But now, that's gone. To add a relation between two entities I have to select the Relations button. When I select Trim Entities, I have no way to choose which type of trim I'd like.

Did I inadvertently press a keyboard command to remove the properties display on certain functions? Hope this all makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

RE: Ok, what did I do...?

It's a system option.  It seems that SW has a tendency to sometimes forget certain system options.  That being said, go to Tools->Options, System Options tab, and right around the middle make sure the box is checked for "Auto-show PropertyManager."  That oughta do the trick.

Simple, yet effective. A star for you!

Thanks very much.
