Removing 'layout coordinates' (Max7)?

Brian H.'s icon

Hi,
Looking to hide the 'layout bubble' numbers that annoyingly appear every time an object is moved. For some reason, I just can't remember what they're called and where to find the option to get rid of them, and I went through everything I could find. I don't want to remove Assistance and other similar features.

Thanks,
Brian

Anyone? What does Max call these things again?

in max 6 it's "layoutbubbles" : 0, in the maxpreferences.maxpref file, but that doesn't work for me in 7, maybe it will for you... if you figure it out post back, i don't like it either...

sorry for bumping, but i was looking for way to change this again and does this mean eventually?... https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/assistance_preferences

really, really i enjoy 7 for speed of making actual connections, yet still go back to 6 (or use 2nd view of locked patcher lol) to tidy up. dunno imo the bubble isn't a bad size proportionally at 200-400% zoom especially at 75% 50% gets in my way of my arranging.

thinking about it, when using mouse i'm confused what you do with self relative coordinate changes from where a thing was when you started moving it + return to 0,0 when you let go ? maybe i'm missing something useful? sometimes the big black box part is okay if you move the thing to place outside of the visible canvas and loose track of the mouse.
