Origin Indicator

Please add the ability to delete (not just hide) the Origin Indicator!!!

Adding onto this request because I think there is opportunity here to make the origin indicator a derivative of the Centermark object.

This is super frustrating. The origin detached, and reattached to a non entity somehow. Cannot delete, cannot re-position, cannot recover.

Why are we voting to fix an obvious flaw. Just fix it.

Adding ideas to the Idea Station is useless.  There are hundreds of good ideas that never get implemented, and many more that never get submitted because of the same fact.

 

It would be great if Inventor just went away.

Being able to delete this (with or without dimensions attacked to the point) is indeed a long term short comming which should be easily fixable?

 

But I would also prefer to either assign a different symbol to it instead of the default circle aka create our own custom one trough the symbol creator and use a different naming scheme for each since different country's have different names for heightlines especially in water constructions.

 

Atm I'm adding a "height reference pole with markings" as a part in each assembly (large scale) to allign several bigger assembly's together, since the assembly's and other parts can change so not always optimal to use those as reference

It would also be prefferable that you can assign it once in an assembly and then reuse it in all related drawing views together with using several reference points with their own mark to which one the dimension is refering to

 

Some1 also mentioned on this topic (but archived) to allow the markers to be (auto)moved to the border of the drawing which is also not a bad idea bad to find them

 

So it's easier to align, verify and/or draw reference lines from them just because this system is wel: Bad

 

Being able to project planes from the assembly's/parts into drawings as lines might also ease this.

Please add delete origin indicator instead of something useless like a new skin.

@sschulteH6WZ3 careful.. they may add more skins and make them available via microtransactions just to spite us 😄

2021... aint this just amazing...

North American mechanical design jobs are fading. It simply costs too much to design with extra time and hassle that projects can never account for.

Inventor may be left to growing countries with cheaper labor cost, unless issues like this are promptly resolved.

...bump for 2022.

It's truly outrageous that this has not been fixed after so, many, years!

2023 and there still isn't a delete option! Wow...I thought moving across from Solidworks to Inventor was a good thing. Looks like I may have to convince my new employer to get SW instead. So many minor issues like this have carried on for many versions of the software in my last two months of research.

Make a no-plot layer and place the origin indicator on it.
