How to reset position of map tools

Kaleun Cook · 10-16-08, 08:12 AM

Hi everyone,

I accidently pushed the 360 degrees measuring tool over the edge of the map screen. A small bit of it is still visible, however, it's not possible to drag it back onto the map. Is there a way to reset the position of the tools mid-patrol?

I imagine it would reset with a save/restart? I know the tool helper setting does, haven't ever checked the position of other things though since I usually put them back or leave them.

Yes, it would, but that's what I want to avoid because reloading would take forever on my old steam-propelled comp. I should have written mid-game instead of mid-patrol to make that clear.

If you're using GWX, doesn't the ruler tool have the same thing as it's Tool Helper?

Prioritise....do you want to finish your current patrol or reset the tool

Solved: The boat sunk after hitting the shore when I was afk.
