I'm using 2008 - in the olden days F6 toggled between coords off, on - absolute and on - relative.

How do I get relative coords to display in the status bar during a command?

If I right click the status bar coords box it gives me the off or absolute options but relative is greyed out

COORDS system variable 1 or 2 makes no difference ?

I know about dynamic input displayed at the cross hairs but I have that nonsence switched off
