What is this thing with the wobbly line?

[robin1_hague]

I don't even know what it's called to go looking for it in the forum or the documentation! But what is this line about when you end up catching right click and dragging? It has been around a while and drives me mad, to no apparent benefit! Am I missing what it's for?

Gesture in Marking Menu.

Mark Mode and Gesture Behavior

Draw a mark with the cursor as you move it toward a menu item, and then quickly release the mouse button to select that item. This action is also called gesture behavior.

After you become familiar with the marking menu layout, this technique helps to execute commands faster.

Ah I see! Can I turn it off?

I guess you're talking about the marking menu. It is implemented in several Autodesk products. 

>>Here<< a video from the Fusion 360 help, it explains IMO well what happens.

I don't think so.

You can try disable Marking Menu.

Turn on "Use Classic Context Menu"
