Boxes in display along lines

[MSRadell]

Something happened to my installation yesterday afternoon (AutoCAD 2015). Something got turned down by accident, I have to use speech recognition software to run AutoCAD because of a disability and occasionally it hears something I didn't say and turns something on.

Starting yesterday afternoon I get little square boxes along lines, circles etc. that are semi transparent and when I select them it says parallel, perpendicular etc. I've looked and haven't found a way to turn these off so they don't reappear. If I click on them I can delete them but they generate all the time and deleting them is not a long-term solution. I've attached a screenshot below showing them.

Here's a screenshot, it didn't detect to the first post for some reason.

[Crossed in the mail....]  They're about Constraints.  See >this<.

Share your actual DWG file please.

I can't attached the actual drawing because of confidentiality reasons. Attached is a quick sketch I did a blank screen and you may be able to see them on it.  However, when I savor drawing and then reopen it they are not there. The only appear on new objects as I draw them. They then disappear again when the drawing is saved and reopened. That's the reason I showed the screen grab in my original information.

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't see that earlier. That's definitely what I have, I'm not sure how they got turned on and I can't find how to turn them off? Is there quick way to turn them off of the just go away like they always have been?

I no longer have your old R2015 version: start HELP and look up the topic of turning off and/or deleting constraints.

Use DELCONSTRAINT command.

Thanks for the help everyone.  I found the following page which may help others in the future: Commands for Geometric Constraints | AutoCAD 2016 | Autodesk Knowledge Network
