Secondary origin keeps appearing

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 23:19:36 GMT

Archicad 20 keeps displaying a secondary origin (user origin), i never use this origin and suddenly appeared out of nowhere in one of my projects, and now is showing in every project i open, i reset it to the project origin by double clicking on the origin icon in the standard toolbar, only to see it again five minutes after.

Is there a way to completely disable this function?
Or some setting to keep it from appearing?

Archicad 20
Windows 10

welko3d:

On Windows, the keyboard shortcut for setting the User Origin is Alt + Shift (Option + Shift on Mac) and I do not think this can be disabled. You may be accidentally pressing this combination when activating other commands.

Yes i'm aware of the key shortcut for the custom origin, and no i'm not pressing them keys by accident, if this where the case, the secondary origin would be appearing in random locations, "my user origin" keeps appearing in the same spot, always in the same exact spot, in fact is happening not only in one file but in all of the files i'm currently working on, and is the same spot (x-y coordinates from project origin)

This morning i removed it by double clicking on the correspondent icon then saved the file, closed the file, open it again and, there it was again!

I mean it's not interfering with my work, but is still annoying to see the program doing stuff on its own.

It may be a bug, or something corrupted in my installation, i may reinstall the program and see if this corrects the problem.

anyways, thanks for your entry.

I have the same issue. No solution yet.

There is no way to "remove" the user origin, you just are relocating it to the project origin. If you use snap guides, it will jump to the snap guide in use, if it hasn't been moved off of the project origin already. See http://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/guides/archicad-20/archicad-20-reference-guide/interaction/origins/

I'm not sure why you would even WANT to remove the user origin. It's very useful for measuring relative distances.
