Extra 'Lines' Created When Making A Line

Anonymous
Not applicable

Basically, as of a month or so ago, extra 'lines' are being added to my sketches whenever I create a line... For example, if I have a square, and I make a line starting from the center at a 45 degree angle, it'll make that line AND a horizontal line to 'indicate' the angle... 

 

HOW.. DO I... GET RID... OF THAT?! Its creating WAY too many extra things on the screen, and getting heavily in the way of work flow... specially if I just simply 'leave' them there and don't delete them... because yes, I just delete them as soon as I see one is made...

Did you enter the angle dimension while creating the line? If you did, well that's just the way Fusion works, only way around it would be to just roughly sketch the line then add the angle dimension after and select an existing line.

Yes I do manually enter the line. But it only started to do this less than a few days to weeks ago. Never had it do this before the last update...

 

If this is something they've making default, or something they've added... god I wish they'd remove it... its infuriating and gets in the way... I don't need extra lines being created which cause other things to snap to it... I can understand the possible want to have the angle shown there, but its completely unneeded if you are the person who manually wrote it in... meaning you already know what it is... 

At the very least, this should be something the user should be able to disable... it takes twice as long to create anything anymore... because if it creates all these extra lines when there's already a line, i won't be able to see it very well because another line is already ontop of it, and then it creates a snapping point that I DON'T NEED, causing things like 'snap to center' to no longer snap to the center of a line/object... but instead snap to the center of that auto created line... plus the time to delete the line plus its angle indicator....

So Fusion will not add those lines, construction line for the Angle, if you don't ask for it. 

Should you get annoyed with yourself?

 

Maybe just a few weeks ago you found out you could add the angle all in one go.

Fusion has always worked this way so @davebYYPCU suggest you must be doing something different.
