I can't see the intermediate position of my object when moving it, And i cant get distance to work

Hi all,

I am using Draftsight on Imac. I cant see the intermediate position of my object when I m moving it. Is there any setting to enable the visibility when moving the lines. 

And when I use the command (Get distance), by clicking on point 1 to point 2, where do I read the distance from. Cause I could not see it in the command box.

Can someone pls advise me on these?
