I am not sure I understand the question, the anchor point is the point selected, so what is 5 mm away from what?

Hi Ton.

When i click the second point on the image the anchor point jumps to a different position about 5mm away.

look at the black line.

All of the snap options are turned off.

Can you turn on the control panel, please?

No snap to grid, no snap to pixel?

Are you using a stylus input on that touch device?
