... Stop Draw Marks from Toggling On?

For whatever reason, the Draw Marks keep getting toggled on - I don't even go into the Settings menu; except to toggle them off again.

This has happened occasionally for a long time, but in this drawing set, it is happening several times a day.

Maybe a macro going where it shouldn't? Change any lately?

No changes to my macros in a long time - many years.

I asked someone else in the office, and this has been happening to him for a while, as well.

I rarely open the Settings menu, except a couple of times after working in a new drawing, to load a new distance file, or change the scale type once in a great while.

Here's another point: I have NEVER needed to use Draw Marks. Somehow they are getting toggled on mysteriously, and I'll be grateful to find out how.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe another co-worker getting in the files? Haven't seen this at all, sorry Neil. :?

There is no keyboard shortcut to turn Drawmarks On. Without knowing the sequence of functions and/or (keyboard) macros you've used when this occurs, there is no way for me to decipher what is causing it. I can usually be pretty good at tracking stuff like this down, but I'm not "The Amazing Kreskin". :?

I will try to notice what I was doing just before, if this happens again.

It is something that has been happening for years and years, and I have not noticed a pattern.
