How turn off rubber-banding

Anybody know how to temporarily turn off that line following the curser
around the screen
in moving, copying and other operations ???

Thanks,

DRAGMODE --> Off

Funny ... that question is usually asked the other way around.

Thanks Paul - But dragmode controls whether the object(s) being dragged are
shown - not the rubber banding !!!

Got other ideas ???

 

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. It doesn't appear that it can be
turned off during ordinary commands; but if it's important to you it could
be done by redefining certain commands with LISP -- the (getpoint ...)
function, for example, permits the rubber band line to be used or not, as
the programmer wishes:

(defun C:MV (/ ss p1 p2)
(setq ss (ssget)
p1 (getpoint "\nBase point: ")
p2 (getpoint "\nDestination point: ")
)
(command "_.move" ss "" p1 p2)
(princ)
)

Paul:

Thanks - I know about invoking rubber banding with get . . .
What I want to do is bring in a block and have it on the curser so the user
can place it amongst other stuff - without the distraction of the
rubber-banding.

Let me know if anthing else comes to mind.

Thanks,

Scott

 

Doesn't (command "-insert" yourblockfile "scale" "1" "rotate" "0" pause)
work?

It shows the image with no rubberband from move/copy?
