Set Relative Zero Position command behavior change

Recently upgraded to LibreCad to v2.1.3 and have noticed a change in the behaviour of the Set Relative Zero Position command.  I used to be able to use this to change the Relative Zero point while in the middle of a move command or draw command.  It doesn't seem to do this anymore.  It kicks me out of the original move command.

An example: I'm trying to move an object.  I select the object to move. I set the reference point. Then  before I set the target point I try to set a new Relative Zero point it will kick me out of the move command when I do this.  

I'm sure it allowed me to do this in the previous version (sorry I'm don't remember what version I had previously).  

Can anyone confirm this behaviour and that it actually has changed?  Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks

The action back stepping has been bypassed for the new GUI.
It still works with commands. rz is the command for Set Relative Zero Position.

Help me understand why you would want to use this tool before setting the target point.
Isn't this the reason for setting the reference point?

Thanks for the tip on the command for Set Relative Zero Position.  That seems to do the trick.

If I were moving an object, I change the relative zero when choosing a reference point on the object relative to another point.  Then I change the relative zero again if I want to move the object to a target point that's in relation to a point on another object.  Hope that makes sense.  Maybe there's a better way of doing it but that's how I go about it.

Thanks again.

I'm replying to this old thread as it was relevant to me, and I thought some extra information that might be useful to others as well as improving search results.

Using the "rz" command from the command dialog allows you to change the relative zero and then continue with whatever you were doing previously, unlike clicking on the "set relative zero" button on the menu.

This is useful for a number of reasons. A simple example is described below, drawing a line with two points, where I want each end of the line to be offset from some other existing feature.

1. Set the relative zero point to the first feature of interest. (either way is OK in this case)
2. Select line using two points
3. Enter @100,200 in the command dialog (or whatever offset you need)
4. When prompted for the second point, enter "rz" in the command dialog box
5. Set the relative zero point by clicking on the second feature of interest
6. Enter @50,100 in the command dialog (or whatever offset you need)
You are done, you have your line using two different offset values. It's not terribly complicated, but I had kept stumbling at step 4 expecting the toolbar click to behave the same as the manual command.
