[SOLVED] Orphan target, Can't get rid of.

Post by JohnRob » Sun Aug 09, 2020 9:25 pm

Qcad Pro 3.24.3 - WIn10/64

New to QCad but have some non-designer CAD experience. I've been learning how to dimension so maybe this is related. However I have an orphan target showing with all layers turned off. I would like to delete / remove it but although its on the screen it doesn't seem to be on any layers.

All layers unlocked = cannot select it.
All layers not viewable = can still see it.

Although off the above subject, what is the recommended file format to use? I have not reason but to use what is best for QCad.

Thanks
John

According to the screenshot that is the "Relative Zero" mark. That is what is used by QCAD by many construction task and it will follow you during the entire drawing progress to make the Relative Zero position usable. You can move it, you can lock it but you can't delete it. It is also not related to a specific layer ... :wink:
