Is there a setting to turn off the marker (circle with cross hairs) that appears after moving an object?
I am using QCAD Professional version 3.27.8 on a mac.

No. That is the Relative Zero marker used for relative positioning. What you could do is to lock that marker in a position (like Absolute Zero) with Menu/Snap/Lock Relative Zero or change the marker color to something what bother you less below Application Preferences/Graphic View/Colors. Adjusting the Alpha Chanel of a color could help too. 255 = Full visibly / 0 = invisible.

That works! Thanks. I finally am able to get that obnoxious little sucker out of the way.

@ zfgo01

That 'obnoxious little sucker' is a key functionality of QCAD.
Mostly it is at the last used coordinate.
Relative coordinates are based on that.
It also serves for snapping perpendicular or tangential.
:wink:
It is not saved nor printed.
