    What is the blue flag flyout? I cannot move any lines or polylines without it moving whatever is attached. I do have service pack 1 installed.

    Hi,

     

    you have used constraints (>>>details<<<) and that symbol shows your cursor is over such an entity.

    Thank you sir.  Normally do not draw but due to downsizing have to.

    How do you permanently disable this so that it never shows up?  I have the parametric flyout open and it a box shows up with check boxes, all of mine are unchecked but an error reads that 1 must be selected.  Does not make sense.  Never heard of this parameter even in other versions and even then it was all disabled.  This version seems to not be able to disable this crap.

    I understand but every new object drawn has constraints attached.  I have selected flyout and windowed entire drawing to get rid of but any new line, pline etc has them attached again.

    Turn off INFER constraints. You'll find the button in the status bar at the bottom of the AutoCAD wondow.

    Yea I turn it off along with no other checks and select ok but it can never get out of that screen.  It gives me an error that says at least one item must be selected.  Here is that error.
