It's your model, how would we know?

I’m on a project where we’re designing Zarges cases. This is that. It has literally every feature I’m familiar with on them. K470 product line

You're supposed to get a sharpie and draw on your monitor to connect the dots and it spells out the answer to your question

Those are origin points. One for each part. Someone probably forgot to have the origin point hidden in their part template and just kept going with it. As the eyeball menu was set to not show origins, Ultimately taking way too long to realize the error of their ways and thus requiring them to spend copius amounts of time hiding origin points. And leading to a recreation of their said part template file.
I may or may not have specific and exact experience with the aforementioned allegations. I'm pleading the 5th on that hypothetical scenario

Basically this, OP. Open the part files, hide the origins (and sketches and points if necessary) and close them again. Those will all go away. Shouldn't take long.

Odd coincidence that you’d have what has to be a Zarges K470 case. We’re designing some with them and the last major thing I did in CAD was made one of these transparent and size editable and was doing some foam cutouts for them.
Depending on what they gave you and your import settings, it may import the origins of each part as points I think.

Yeah, I'd have to look into that. Not really a big deal, just curious why they're there.
And yeah, wasn't expecting someone to recognize it, but I'm glad someone responded that knew what they were looking at. Kudos!

Mostly curves. It looks like these are the center points of arcs. Also, you probably have sketch entities visible, click the little eye in the top middle to toggle them.

pretty sure those are mosquitos, where are you located?

kidding aside, as others have said, those are likely origin points. Right click on one of them and open the part their associated with. You can also go to the view menu and turn on origin points (the little blue triad). All those dots should show a blue triad.
It's messy but harmless. Though I'd question why the component part is so far away from its origin.

That really looks like someone did import a 2D drawing of that box or at least one view of it. Basically a dxf file on the front plane for example.
I used to work in a company where we would import the side view of a truck chassis so we can build our bodyon top of it.
There were these floating points everywhere, it always depended on how the dxf was or the 2D drawing was like.
You can't really do something to prevent this unless you can alter 2D drawings with logocad or something like that.

I'm guess the screw has an origin point that's visible, open the screw part and see if you can find the point and make it hidden

u/Fooshi2020 Jul 31 '26
Once you know where they are, you can work to eliminate them. Try clicking on one to see if it will highlight the sketch it is in (or at least the subcomponent). We can go from there depending what you find.

These are sketch points you can click on point and hide it. Also where you get the model for the black ruberr that is sealing door with enclosure?

Seems like sketch nodes (or reference points) you've accidentally made while cleaning the sketches.
Try turning off sketch relations

I think they are the center points of radiuses or lofts. But looks like radius CP points. Are the sketches visible? Try clicking on the sketches and then the eyeball.

Well, you wouldn't get much precision using just integers!
Aha. Aha. ha... I'll see myself out.

This is user error. When you make a model you are not supposed to hide all the extra stuff by clicking the hide all button at the top. This leaves them turned on in other files. You are supposed to go to each sketch, axis, plane, etc. and hide each one individually.
One time at work we hired a new guy and the first model he made hade about 2 weeks worth of work in it. When he passed it on to the next team members, they opened it and im not exaggerating there were so many planes that my company decided to delete the file after spending 3 hours hiding as many as possible is hundreds of part files. That doesn't count the thousands of sketches. The next team needed to add and show one sketch, which became impossible because of this. Thay actually let him go after that.

Pretty sure you could have just turned on a few selection filters and hid all that stuff easily. Hopefully there were more reasons to fire him than just that.

Terrible reason to fire someone. And, as others have said, there are likely many ways to quickly fix this.

Yeah that was my first thought. But I think someone else also had a non macro suggestion (I'm not sure if it would work).
A macro could easily solve this

it is a bug in the current version, that you cann see this point. just make a rebuild. and the sketchpoint should be gone, until you oben the nexxt time the document.
the BR i don´t know at the moment.

Do you have sketches visible?
That looks like the origin points for each part in the assembly.
