   I do not know what I have accidentally pressed, but suddenly I have a little blue square at the end of any line that I have selected.  There is also a funny symbol with 2 parallel lines and some diagonal hatching which appears near the blue square.I believe these are a grip symbols, but they now persists even when I go on to do something else and I find it really annoying to have them cluttering up the screen.
Can anyone advise how to get rid of these and make sure they do not appear again?
I right clicked on the screen, selected Options > Selection > Untick Show grips and all the boxes below this.  > Apply > OK
 but they are still there. 
I am running Win 7, Autocad 11.
Thanks,
Arthur

	Hello ArtM101, all this looks like parametric constrain. To get rid of this you should DELCONSTRAINT , all. Eventually see this : https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-E47B6F79-C7DA-45ED-AFA6-6C0945DB6375-htm.html Edited by philippe JOSEPH - 13.Mar.2019 at 15:52

	and if preferred you can turn of the "Grips" with the Grip system variable. Grip 0=hide 1=display 2=display additional midpoint grips on polyline segments https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-97AD30F3-A1A3-4027-91B7-49008841A447-htm.html?st=grip%20variable
