Can I hide UCS symbols in 3D window? {solved}

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:37:42 GMT

I'm wanting to use a screengrab of the 3D window for my project, as a very quick "render". The quality is good enough for what I want it for.

However, can I hide the 2 UCS symbols in the window? (I assume they are co-ordinate system indicators? Why are there 2 of them?)

The image attached shows a grab with the two 3-pronged symbols that I want to hide.

Thanks

If so, I am clicking on the mouse's wheel at empty space of window.

Those are the Global Origin 0,0,0 and the Local Origin. You can reset you local origin to be the same as the Global Origin, but a screen shot will always show them.

Rendering your 3D window will not include them.

You can always move it out of sight with shift + option/alt. You'll need something to snap it to.

Thanks for the replies everyone - leading to a solution:

1) Click and hold the middle/scroll button down...and keep it held down. This makes the UCS symbols disappear while the button is held down.

2) Press the hotkey(s) to capture the current window (In my case, with PicPick, Ctrl+Shft+w followed by PrintScreen key). Keep the middle button down until fully captured.

Viola - no UCS symbols on the image!
