How do I unlock entry dialog to be able to graphically select location with "Locate Station via Datapoint"

Hi Katie,

In troubleshooting this issue, one thing I have found is that if you select the Locate Station via Datapoint command, key-in a station and then enter, the Locate Station via Datapoint dialog box will be checked, locking that station. In moving your cursor, the starting point is locked to the keyed-in station on your alignment. Uncheck Station in the Locate Station via Datapoint dialog box, and you can then select the location by datapoint.

Thanks,
Sanders

Thanks,
For some reason the dialog box was not visible when I was having this trouble, I could only see the data entry box that follows the cursor. Later I did see the dialog box with the checkbox and found that I could control it that way as you describe. I have no idea why I can sometimes see and sometimes not see that dialog box. Is there any keystroke pattern that can unlock that entry if the dialog box with the checkbox disappears?
