Circle dimension center not disappearing

Anonymous

This is the first time I'm posting a question so I don't know if I'm doing it in the right place.

 

Every time I'm dimensioning a circle there's a dot left in the middle of the circle. Even though in it's settings I've selected none. It's really bugging my eye even though it's just a dot.

How do I remove it.

I've attached an image so you guys can understand what I mean.

 

Thanks for the help.

How do I remove it?

Explode it

Is there any way I can permanently make it that way? Because I just tried again and it showed up again? Do I have to keep exploding it?

It's a bad practice to explode a dimension, get familiar with the dot as all of us do ☺

That's the definition point for the center, and is a necessary part of the Dimension object.  There are others at the grip points you see when you pick the Dimension, and Linear and other types of Dimensions have them, too, though they're usually on some part of whatever is Dimensioned, or on some element of the Dimension itself, so they're not as noticeable.

 

They are what the DEFPOINTS Layer is for, and it won't appear in a Plot.  Definition points "look" like they're on the Layer of the Dimension, but they're on DEFPOINTS and embedded into the Dimension similarly to the way something drawn on Layer 0, when part of a Block, takes on the characteristics of the Layer the Block is Inserted on.  AutoCAD knows it's really on a different Layer, and that has a special property -- if you EXPLODE the Dimension, it will go away [but I assume you don't want to do that.]
