Circular guideline from origin point appears when moving elements - how to turn off?

[Liamthanks]

Hi all,

I have tried searching for the relevant setting but have not had any luck, however I am hoping it's a relatively easy solution. 

When I go to move any object around, I keep getting a circular guideline appear from the drawing origin point and it's annoying me. I haven't always had it, so can only assume I've accidentally turned it on some how?

Are your delta buttons active for the coordinates?

Hey Barry, 

What toolbar are these options located in? 

If I turn off Snap Guides the issue resolves, but then I lose all the other snap guides as well.

Hi,

those are snap guides.

if you leave your mouse over a point for more than 2 seconds, it gives you a temporary measurement point and those lines/circles from any other temporary measurement point.

to turn them off you can select the snap guide icon

or

go to the view menu

The Coordinates are located in the  coordinate pallet

i hope that helps

It is a 'Palette' rather than a toolbar.

Windows menu > Palettes > Coordinates.

Thanks Barry, turning that setting on appears to have resolved the issue and I've now updated my default work environment to suit.

Cheers!

I am not sure if there is another way to swap between absolute/relative co-ordinates (i.e. menus or other tool bars).

I have always had that palette active at the bottom of the screen (it used to be a default palette - I am not sure if it is any more).

I like it because it also has buttons for the user origin/origin reset, rotated/ortho grids, grid snap and gravity (not needed so much any more).
