How to get rid of a straight line attached to my closed loop

I've drawn multiple closed loops, and they all have a "straight line" attached to them when I hover over it. Fusion says that it's a sketch point but other designs I've created doesn't show it. I thought I could switch it off in the sketch palette but that didn't help... How do I get rid of it. Ahhhhhh it's annoying!

can't tell without the design.  Please share it here if you want help.  I can't tell from just the image, but it may be a fit point spline tangent handle?

My apologies @jeff_strater, I went on holidays shortly after posting this question and have only just returned.

Here is the link-

Your help/advice would be appreciated.

BTW, the design tree etc., is messy so please excuse this.

Thank you 😀

Hi, it appears that what you have shared is just a shared view of the file, but since the only thing in it is a sketch, nothing shows up in the shared view.  Can you share the actual part file itself in this thread? (.f3d)

I do not see that line in the file you shared.  I think I am in the same area as your original screenshot (although it is a guess - a pointer to where you are seeing this would be helpful).

I looked around, and did not see this line anywhere else.

 

However, I did notice that all of these curves are, indeed, fit point splines, and I suspect that you are seeing a tangent handle.  If you activate tangent handles:

I can see a tangent handle at this location:

If you don't want those, just deactivate those tangent handles:

That's it!

I knew it had to be something simple, but my lack of fusion knowledge was more apparent.

Thanks for your patients and help.
