Flower shape in middle of screen

[Anonymous]

Hi all, please help me move or hide the funny little flower shape in the middle of the screen? It has something to do with the drawing area or insert point or somethign like that. It usually starts our at 0,0 but now I have it in the middle of some drawings. It is annoying and I just want it to go somehwere else.

Are you able to select it? Like if you type LIST and select it what does it say it is?

That's the geo marker, setting variable, enter GEOMARKERVISIBILITY @ command line , set it to 0 to turn it off.

Set PDMODE yo 0 (that's a zero), then REGENALL: does it suddenly change to a dot? It's a POINT object in your file or in your block.

It's the geomarker, and indicates that the drawing has a real world geographic location assigned to it, either in Map3d, Civil3D, (which use real geographic coordinate systems) or vanilla AutoCAD's GEOMAPS /GEOGRAPHICLOCATION commands.  GEOMARKERVISIBILITY will toggle it on or off.
