Hi, I have a question, I had to reinstall audition, but I don't know how to put it back on a function that I had before, when I moved a clip to align it, a dotted blue vertical ruler appeared along all the tracks and it disappear when I release mouse button, this helped me a lot to align without snap, but I can't find how to activate it again.

Right-click on the timeline, and select Snapping. Make sure it's turned on, and select Snap to Clips. You're done!

Hi, thanks but no, i mean, when I click a clip to drag just on the point where I do click appears a vertical blue ruler (wether the snap is on or not) so i use that ruler to compare the position with the other tracks, usually i use this with the snap deactivated

It doesn't work with the snap deactivated, and as far as I'm aware it never has. The only dotted marker you get is a track marker - which sits permanently across all tracks, but to snap to that you have to set the snapping too. I suspect that the dotted line you might be referring to is the one you get if you hold the cursor on a clip and drag it, although I wouldn't rely on that for anything. It's possible that the behaviour of this might alter according to the setting of Edit>Preferences>Markers and Multitrack and the 'Show Marker Lines in the Editor Panel Display' box, but it doesn't on this system.
