Accidentally applied a anchor or a constraint to my drawing ....

[jim3thornton]

Recently I have found that lines drawn are anchoring them selves to other lines ...

I don't know if I have inadvertently initiated a  command but I notice that when a line has been drawn ... I will hover the cross hairs over the line and see that small symbol appears like a backwards "Z"...

In some circumstances I have tried to move an object and other line work follows with the move ... 

Any comments would be helpful ... thank you

Hi @jim3thornton,

Can you share a screen capture? If you have applied a constraint, you can use the DELCONSTRAINT command to get rid of it.

One problem is I'm working on Autocad Architecture today .... so I don't know if that makes the solution any different ...

The cross hairs disappear when I try to screen capture ...

Hi @jim3thornton,

Are you using the Windows snipping tool for the capture?

I was on a surface yesterday ... I was able to print screen today to provide the attached pdf...

what is interesting is i worked on two files yesterday and both files exhibited the same setting ...

where as today ... the first file i had not sign of the problem ... but the second file still has the condition ....

see the attached pdf for the symbol next to the crosshairs

Hi @jim3thornton,

Can you share the file that still shows the problem? If it needs to be private, you can email to me at [email protected]. Please include a link to this thread in your email.

Hi @jim3thornton,

Thanks for sending me the drawing.  That symbol appears to be an Auto Constrain indication.

Hi @jim3thornton

You can certainly use DELCONSTRAINT to remove this.
