Seems to have happened after the new update and I can't figure out how to activate it again! The reference point box works with the selection tools. I have a work around, but it would be nice to just have this feature work again.

With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. “Library” will now appear within the Home folder. Within the Library folder find the “Caches” folder. Within the Caches folder find and delete the entire folder “Adobe InDesign”. I find that deleting the InDesign cache folder completely leads to a lasting change.
