Centre of screen icon - hide? 1

[FreddyB]

I have a new installation of SW on Windows 7, 64bit.

I have noticed the little circular icon in the middle of the screen, obviously to let you know where the middle is. How do I hide it? I don't want it showing in screen captures I take using Paint Shop Pro.

Do you use Space Navigator. If yes then check these posts/links for removing that blue dot.

Thanks Gupta65. It hadn't occurred to me that the mark was being generated by my 3D controller.

For anyone else wishing to know the answer it is as follows:

Go to the controller tool bar and select properties. There is a dialogue box asking when to "Show centre". I selected 'never' and it's gone!

It's funny how often this is coming up. I approached 3DConnexion's marketing company about the fact that the word hasn't got out about their new functionality's graphical display, but never got a response.
