Pressing "T" for trace doesn't do anything
I'm having trouble using the trace feature. I have followed all the tutorials and help files I can find, but I think my trace is not working the way it is supposed to. I'm trying to use Default Terrain tool to trace a section of coastline. I select my mountain tool and click to add my first point. Then I type "T" (at this point the "T" just sits in the command line) then I click the coast line to select what I want to trace and the "T" disappears. It seems as though the "T" did nothing because it starts to draw the poly (or fractal) to that second click, then I click again on the coast and it just continues the poly, no tracing at all.
Should the command line change after I type "T" to indicate that I have successfully selected the entity I want to trace? Like I said, my command line just shows the "Next point (blahblah): T" then I click to select the entity to trace and it shows "Next point (blahblah):"
Very frustrated that it seems like it just doesn't work, not that I'm not understanding how it works. Please help, and thanks in advance.

Next point ([one or more options based on tool type], T - Trace)'. If it doesn't have the trace option, please try another tool to see if it works then.
