vanowm Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Hello. I set blipmode to 0, however it still shows and leaves on screen "+" marks every time I move cursor over a circle or an arc during picking a point without even clicking. ("Center" is activated in osmode) This probably has nothing to do with blipmode, so what am I missing here? how can I disable these marks? Thanks.

ReMark Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 If you zoom in or out of your drawing OR you toggle grid on/off do these marks disappear? Yes or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanowm Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yes, zoom clears the marks. Grid has no effect. Also I just realized, my description wasn't accurate (updated now), the marks only shows when a pick-a-point command is active (such as during drawing a line), once the command is finished they disapear.

ReMark Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Are you sure it's not OSNAPS that you are seeing? These "+" marks wouldn't be green in color now would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanowm Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Perhaps it's part of osnap, in fact they do represent the center mark, however these + stay on screen when cursor is moved away So is there a way disable such behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 So is there a way disable such behavior? Turn off center OSnap. But why would you not want to see them if you are using center? They do go away when you finish the command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanowm Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Because center mark (the yellow circle) shows when I hover over an arc/circle and that's plenty enough for me. These blips just clutter the screen. I'd see the benefit for this when center of an arc doesn't fit on screen so when zoomed out it wold be easier to find it, however it clears on zoom...

ReMark Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 OSNAPS can be toggled On/Off using the F3 key. If you have BLIPMODE set to OFF then there shouldn't be any "white" blips on your screen. Do you see any "white" "+" signs or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the OSnap indicators. The square is for endpoint, + is for center, a triangle would denote midpoint. All of these are depicted in your object snap settings dialog box if you would look. It ain't ghosts in the machine or a bad install or an AutoCAD quirk. It is NORMAL behavior when OSnaps are enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a useful visual indicator that is limited to 6 of them. How much clutter can that cause? Plus, all it takes is a simple small zoom to clear them. I don't think they can be turned off.

yathishkumar Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Try maybe ".BLIPMODE" turn it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Try maybe".BLIPMODE" turn it off Read the first sentence in the OP. They are not traditional blips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much clutter can that cause?Oh, I didn't realize about that limit.Sometimes I get to make white + in drawings and these blips just get in my way.

ReMark Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Try maybe".BLIPMODE" turn it off And the OP is using AutoCAD 2002 which means that the BLIPMODE command did NOT require the period preceding it. The command was made obsolete (retired?) at some point but never entirely removed from the program thus the reason for the in later releases.

eldon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 You can turn them off. See the AutoSnap system variable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I don't see it. Unless you are referring to turning off the markers, which I'm fairly certain is not desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
