SW 2018 SP5.

See the picture above. Sometimes, when I create an advanced hole, (About 50% of the time, it seems) I get this extra line showing up. It seems to just be random. It is always connected to the bottom drill point and it just points in a random direction.

I don't really care about it, but because of it, my sketch is saying that I am under-defined (see pic above).

If I attempt to edit the sketch to delete the extra line, I get this message:

Which means that, if I say "Yes" and delete the line, the advanced hole is no longer linked and I have to "Restore Settings" to get it so that I can modify it.

However, as soon as I restore settings, it drops the extra line back in about 50% of the time. (sometimes it doesn't and all is good)

Anyone else ever seen this? What can I do about it?

I have never seen it do this but I am on 2015 so my Advanced Holes are not as advanced as yours.

Looks almost like a drill point angle (bevel angle of the drill) indicator but that doesn't make any sense that it would be that long. Can you see if you can measure the angel of it and it it matches the drill bevel angle?

My guess is something in your options settings is trying to show the bevel angle or a 3D sketch reference line of some sort.

Has it been doing this since you loaded 2018 of recently?

If recent, do you have an older backup of your settings (From Save My settings Wizard) that you could try?

That little line seems to be completely random. It definitely does not match the bevel angle. And I have reloaded Solidworks (and windows) (rather....IT did) from scratch and it is still there.
