Turning off 3D sketch manipulator

[webbit_1024]

As title, is there a way to do that?example

As you can see this thing is constantly getting in my way, in this example, it is preventing me from placing the next point of my spline point at the exact location. This is an easy to evade case, as I can zoom in and out to get the manipulator out of my way (and I have to zoom in and out hundreds of times in every session of making sketches), but there are times that it is so diehard difficult to avoid, like my point is close to the 3 axis, like 0.5 degree, it will so stubbornly force me to snap to the axis instead of the actual point I want to snap to, and I have to zoom to extreme level to get enough clearance to not snap to the axis.

Due to the nature of my work (I'm making 3D printable sculptures as a hobby), I will be doing quite a lot of organic shaped objects in 3D space. This feature is not useful to me 99% of the time, and it hinders and annoys me so much that I have to seek help.

Is there a way to turn it off? Please.

unfortunately you have to uncheck 3d sketch in the sketch menu.

I wish they would make the manipulator visibility a seperate check box from the ability to sketch in 3d.  Don't always (usually) need it when constraining to existing geometry.

Hi,
Uncheck the 3d sketch option.

Thank you.

Um, no. This (uncheck the 3D sketch option on the sketch option panel while in sketch mode) will disable 3D sketching, and if you read my post and see the screenshot, I'm working in 3D sketching space (more specifically, I'm tracing contour on an imported non manifold 3D brep mesh, to create smoother surface from a low poly model). Unless there is another place with a similar named option that provides different behavior of the manipulator, your answer is not applicable to my case.

Maybe I should rephrase my question: "How to turn off the 3D sketch manipulator while working in 3D sketch space?"

I was assuming 3D is inherently emphasized when I said "3D Sketch Manipulator", since it will not appear in 2D sketches..
