Switched a tool on making it difficult to see when drawing lines

[bobsy852]

I've switched something on, it's no doubt really easy to turn off but I dont know what it is or how I turned it on, so I have no hope of turning it off!

 

As you can see when I try to draw a line, the first time i left click the mouse where I want to start the line it looks like this the attaches JPEG entitled "help1"

 

It's as if the cross hair becomes enormous!!

 

The second JPEG shows what happens when I move the mouse towards the point where i want the line to end!

 

It's making it very difficult to see. It's as if it's trying to show me the angle that my line is taking whilst I draw it.

Please help me turn this off!!

 

Thanks everyone

that was random! I swopped to the AutoCAD classic Workspace then back to the 2D drafting workspace which i normally work in and it had gone!?

oh well least i can carry on working now!

 

still wouldnt mind knowing what it was?

It looks like polar and object tracking are turned on.

they are, but I usually have them on anyway, however, ive never seem them do this before?

I misread your first post. Are you refering to the dynamic display?

[bobsy852]

if that's what all those white lines are coming off my croos hair at 45degree angles at the first point? and then doing something i find difficult to explain in the second picture? is that a dynamic display?

Also is that other cyan line part of it? which was running parallel to whatever angle line i was tyring to draw?

It seems as if I was wrong. I can't create the problem here. Has it gone away for now? If so, it might be a vid card issue or something other than an AutoCAD setting.

Yea, it went away when i swopped the workspace to AutoCAD classic and then back to 2D drafting workspace! possibly, the work computer only has a integrated Intel driver! hmm, i'll see if it happens again! like i said, no idea how i did it!
