Quadrant curser problems?

2019 won't let me snap to a quadrant of a circle. Hover pointer over quadrant and nothing. I can get a line to snap to a quadrant but I have to select the quadrant autocurser. In 2018 it works normally for me (quadrant symbol shows up allowing me to snap to it when creating another geo entity).

Am I missing something somewhere?

Autocurser conf. Right in front of me. Duh. But yes, I needed that for speedy creation of circles all positioned properly for solid cone creations. The part (a tonneau cover for an F150 truck). Then when I trim the solid cones to the solid body (I create a surface from a face for the trimming) the file memory soars higher. Would soon be unmanageable. One row of 11 trimmed solid cones (2 1/2 diameters, 5" ht. before trim) would increase file memory from 4 MB to 11 MB. I trimmed up 11 such rows. So,... after I trim one row of cones - I have to then convert them to surfaces (and set to 'delete solid'). That way the file memory stays low. (Bottom untrimmed faces need to be deleted anyway, so surfs they became).

I posted another dumb question on the mastercam forum a couple weeks ago. How do I turn the arc center points off? (looks bad when creating jpeg blueprints). I searched everywhere! In the X series, it was in System conf. CAD settings. Ah. HOME tab center (staring right at me) lol Sometimes the new interface gets me... I didn't even need that question answered as I saw older posts on the same topic...
