mystery blue circle

1-RPF53Q Jun 7, 2010 11:10 AM

I have just started to use solidworks again at a new company and I am have an annoying feature show up in the middle of the screen on parts and assemblies. The mystery blue circle looks like something from vista/windows 7 but it is definatly a solidworks item. Any idea what is is and how to turn it off?

I am using solidworks 2009 sp4.1 on windows xp

Thanks,

Greg

It is the spacenavigator rotate point. you can turn it off or have it show only when you rotate something. it is under the 3dcontrol options

      This is actually talked about in the forums a couple of times, I think. Also, I mentioned it here (and got some surprizing comments): 3DConnexion review
