Points not showing up

[Mac Demer]

I'm not an expert but have you looked at blipmode sys variable?

I know I am resurrecting an ancient post, but incase someone else comes across this, here is what I found. When placing points in the DEFPOINTS system layer, they would always show up as a dot, no matter what my settings were. Hope this helps.

Since you brought it up NEVER use the DEFPOINTS system layer whose sole purpose it for dimension node points.

Unable to delete "$AUDIT-BAD-LAYER" layers https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...ER-layers.html

Cannot select objects on Defpoints layer when Layer 0 is off in AutoCAD https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...n-AutoCAD.html

Users have actually put objects on DEFPOINTS system layer and later erased everything on that layer not realizing what that did to all the drawings dimensions.

Agreed! I work with people that still use defpoints for "no plot" stuff even though the ability to create "no plot" layers has been around since 2000, and we already have them in our templates!
