In-Depth Information
The pick box at the intersection of the cursor hairs moves with the cursor
hairs in response to movements of the mouse. The AutoCAD window as
shown in Fig. 1.3 shows cursor hairs which stretch across the drawing in
both horizontal and vertical directions. Some operators prefer cursor hairs
to be shorter. The length of the cursor hairs can be adjusted in the Display
sub-menu of the Options dialog (page 13) .
