    It COULD also be Point Styles.

    If points are set to X and set to a fixed (absolute units) size as opposed to a relative size, that could also be the issue .... right?

    blipmode is a setting independent of any command. the problem was 'every where i pick'...

    funny, i hate 'points'.... (if i need something like that, i use a 0" length line instead)
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    the emotion, or why i use a 0 length line?

    irrational on the first...

    and just because my permanent setting for an endpoint snap will grab it. i don't have 'points' activated in my osnaps. it's also a common setting on other users machine, and since most of them don't usually have 'insertion' selected either, it's a good entity to have at the base points where they need to select a block at it's base. ~shrug~ dunno, i stumbled on it on accident once and have used it ever since. (i didn't think a 0 length line could exist, but apparently it can!)

    In the help menu - on getting rid of blips after drawing .....

    Use REDRAW, REGEN, ZOOM, PAN, or other commands that redraw or regenerate the drawing.

    Seems like if a regen is done, changing blipmode is nothing more than aesthetic in nature as the blips do go away .....

    Creating zero length lines seems like a lot of effort compared to using points. Also, since A2005 (I think), acad automatically deletes zero length lines and single vertex polylines on file open.
