[solved] Black cursor on Black background

[martino]

Hello all,

QCAD Pro, version 3.27.1.0 on Win10

I cannot seem to find a way of making the cursor visible when using certain edit operations.
Draw>Line> 2 Points gives a yellow cross hair as set in the Application Properties. However
Draw>Line>Parallel, Draw>Line>Bisector, Draw>Tangent (Two Circles), Draw>Line>Orthogonal / Tangent and others gives a black cross hair, this is visible if hovering over a white hatched area or block. this action is making it very difficult to select the correct point in the drawing.

I have tried to select different pallets, themes, cursor attributes, but have not found anything that corrects this issue.

please help.

Martin..

It sounds like your system might not support the custom mouse cursors QCAD uses at all. Are you perhaps using an external screen?

You can switch them off by checking the option:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Use system cursors

Thank you Andrew.

Yes using an external screen, moved drawing to built in screen and they are now visible. And yes turning on system cursors fixed my problem on the external screen.

Thanks again.
