    Question Dynamic input to relative?

    I used to work with ACA 2014 and it worked the other way.
    When I draw a simple wall object (WALLADD) I could later grab this little triangle and stretch the base height to anywhere I wanted. I could also pres that triangle, input a number and it will change the base height relatively to the original height.
    For example if it was 200cm and I input 45cm, the wall will be 245cm.

    Now all it does is changing the absolute value of the wall.
    For example if it was 200cm and I input 45cm, the wall will be 45cm.

    I know I can press TAB and toggle between those two, but there is a way to do it without hitting TAB all the time? fix it to relative?
    My TAB finder hurts already.

    edit:

    Also the radius think is driving me crazy.
    I could turn a wall to be based on an arc and then play around with the wall length. Now I can only change the radius.
    How can it be changed back?

    Found the problem. I am not used to the new 2016 icons. Just DYNMODE=1 and turn on ortho
