What is this thing and how do I delete it?

Hi,

I was busy routing tracks on a board and I did something - I’m not sure what - pressed some sort of combination of keys. Anyway, Kicad put this cross-hair ‘target’ on my board. I don’t know what it is, and I can’t seem to be able to delete it. It stays the same size when I zoom in and out, and is still there if I turn all the visible layers off.

Can anybody tell me what it is and how I can delete it?

Morph.

This is origin point. Use tool in right toolbox to move it to other place :slight_smile:

Is it? If I click the Origin Tool, I get a similar ‘target’, which I can move around but in Red:

I can’t delete the white one?

Sorry, I do apologise - you are correct - It is the ‘Set the origin point for the grid’ - I was looking at the ‘Place the origin point for drill and place files’!

These targets disappear when you set them to (0,0), either manually or through the “Reset Grid origin” button.
