What is this White thingy on my screen???

Ahhhhh..... This little white thing that is always on the screen in model space. What is it and why can't I get rid of it? says just about everybody. Well there is a way to turn it off by just changing a setting. The best practice is to open your company template file and change it there for everybody.

1. Open your template drawing.

2.Type "GEOMARKERVISIBILITY" on your command line and set it to 0.

3. That's it. You could be "the man" this week at the office with this little tidbit of info.

Here it is:    Press and hold down "Shift" and Right Click your mouse and presto there it is.
