DJSSDB Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago When I am pulling dimensions, there are crosshairs being left behind sporadically. Doesn't happen all the time and I can't figure out what causes them or how to get rid of them. I'm assuming they are some kind of point marker, left from manual dimensions, but when I go to CAD/Points/Delete Temp Points, they aren't going away. I'm on X15, is there a setting or easy fix for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Were you using Point to Point dimensioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisb222 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 29 minutes ago, DJSSDB said: Yep Point to Point Dimensions use Markers as dimension points. It places these markers automatically. They don't have anything to do with Temporary CAD Points. The markers can be selected, and deleted, but then the dimension segment will disappear. They can also be reduced to a tiny, almost invisible size, or made to have an invisible line style. They can also be moved to an independent layer and turn off display of that layer. Or you could use a different dimension tool if one is appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSSDB Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago Great info. I appreciate it. All of the points on that image are Point to Point. What might cause some to leave the Markers and others not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might cause some to leave the Markers and others not? PtP dims will snap to snap points according to the Locate settings in the Dimension's Default settings. Where there is no Marker, the dimension snapped to a snap point on the object. If there is no snap point, it places a Marker, which is unique to PtP dimensions - all other types require a snap point.

Here is a video on how to reduce the size of the crosshairs. crosshair reduction.mp4 Edited 5 hours ago by mtldesigns added text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
