Percentages not showing for Interactive PolySplit

All,

Just joined.. looks like a great site. Will be contributing more and more as I get more advanced in Maya.

I'm doing some tutorials. I want to split a box in the middle at exactly the mid point. I know how to do this but the tutorial says that after I select the Interactive Split Tool and move my mouse close to an edge of the box, I will be able to see a percentage of slip output in the Help Line window when I click to make a vertice. I have my Help Line enabled but when I to click and drag nothing is showing.

Any ideas? is there a preference setting that is off somewhere?

Not sure what tutorial you are doing but the interactive split tool never displayed a percentage along the edge that I can recall and in Maya 2012 at least if you try to bring up help on the interactive split tool you get a red message saying there is no help for this tool or at least I do.

I think the split poly tool shows a percentage. The interactive split, maybe not.

If you are modelling with history, look at the channel box on the left after using the split poly tool You'll see a value between 0 and 1 there. This will let you know at which distance along the edge the new point has appeared, you can also manually adjust this value there.
