Blip mode on/off
« on: July 14, 2004, 06:09:46 PM »
I usually have my blip mode on.  It does not bother me.  On or off I don't even notice.  I only notice when I need them to be on and they are not.  When do I need them?   When I need to modify a bunch of similar entities, it helps me to see which one I already did.

Blipmode is ok, but I sometimes find myself trying to erase those confounded tics only to realize they are blips, not linesor points in the drawing

I HATE BLIPMODE!! Why didn't they get rid of that rather than all the stuff I use everyday!! ALL the good stuff from 14 didn't make it to LDD3. Thank goodness for the retired list!!

I agree. They should've done away with blipmode, but instead they semi-remove tracking and replace it with temp tracking. It's not the same. Tracking was so cool. You could set objects on a point, then move that point and keep moving it until you got what you were looking for. It seems odd to need that, but there was a time where I did need it, then they went and hid it away. It probably doesn't even exist anymore.

Cheers, Dent!  What's the friggin' point?

Why dont you update that button with this:
(setvar "blipmode" (boole 6 (getvar "blipmode") 1))

As indicated by the first post in this thread, some folks still use it.  

Prior to fast regens, toggling blipmode on and off was a totally transparent "REDRAW", but I haven't used it since.

Thanks, but I'd only use that if I wanted them to turn blipmode back on.  I only want them to turn it off...

(I know I'm letting my personal opinion interfere with the operation of everyone, but I hate blips!!!!!

Actually, it's interesting to see that someone found a use for a function that everyone else HATES.... Just shows to go that there are a million ways to do anything in CAD.....COOL, eh?
