Drawing cursor

Post by DaleWebb » Mon Jul 24, 2023 6:13 am

Is it possible to change the drawing cursor from the big + to an arrowhead or a dot? It's big and obscures my drawing. Couldn't find answer in the manual or on-line.

The crosshairs mouse cursor should look like shown below. If that is not the case, your system settings might scale up all mouse cursors.

The mouse cursor is the little white cross.
The yellow crosshairs show the current snap position.

You can change the white cross to the system cursor under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Cursor > Use system cursors

You can switch off the yellow cross under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Cursor > Show crosshairs

What do you exactly mean with too big that it would obscures your drawing?
Could you attach a screen capture?
