I have autocad Lt. 2021, does blipmode still exist and how do I turn it on

[Kent1Cooper]

I don't have LT, but if it's there and like full AutoCAD, type it with a preceding period:

.blipmode

No blipmode, and using .blipmode shows up in the autocomplete but selecting it just gives the error message "unknown" command, it is also not in the help files.

[steven-g]

Very strange after trying the command and getting the "unknown command" message a few minutes later I noticed a prompt for dynamic input asking "ON-OFF" I selected on and now have small crosses appearing over my screen, I presume 'blips' only problem is I can't turn them off again, presumably they will go away after restarting LT (I hope they do anyway) 😀

😠 No, 

they didn't I had to go into the registry and turn it off manually blipmode =0

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT\R27\ACADLT-4101:409\Profiles\<<Unnamed Profile>>\General

I would never recommend going into the windows registry but that might be a way to turn it on (if you know how) but do so at your own risk
