Can I turn off the Ghost when I use the copy command?

I'm working with some relatively complex geometry in 3d. (warehouse layout) and my PC is kind of a pooch. I'm pretty sure that back in the day when I used autoCAD (2000 maybe?) the copy command didn't create a ghost, it just gave you the cursor to select the insertion point. Is there a way I can copy multiple times without having the ghost image?

Never imagined one would want such a thing. You can't turn it off, but you can create work-arounds.

(defun c:Test (/ ss p1 p2)
 (and (setq ss (ssget "_:L"))
      (setq p1 (getpoint "\nSpecify base point: "))
      (while (setq p2 (getpoint p1 "\nSpecify next point: "))
        (command "_.copy" ss "" "_non" p1 "_non" p2)
      )
 )
 (princ)
)

i think maybe i'm doing this wrong...

Your question or running the code? Your answer is a little vague. If it's loading, see the appropriate link in my signature.

hmmm. nevermind. it works perfectly.

thanks!

Have you tried DRAGMODE system variable?

I stand corrected. Granted, then you would be forced to turn it off for everything and/or tell it when you want vectors displayed each time a command is executed.

Both work, both useful. Thanks guys.

You're welcome and thanks for the education eldon.
