AutoCad :: Crosshairs And Pick Pox Have Disappeared
Jan 4, 2012
I was drafting away, and all of a sudden my crosshairs and pickbox disappeared. Once I move the mouse there's nothing in my drawing plane. I can type commands, and when I move the mouse up to the menu area I can pull down menus. I've opened up other drawings and the crosshairs and pick box are there.
What can I do to resolve this? Of course it happens during a deadline.
Using Autocad version 2009, windows 2007, Professional

I have work to do on a bathroom group that is rotated at 18 degrees. How do I rotate my crosshairs to make this easer to work on?

I opened a multi-tab CAD document, and my crosshairs disappear when I go into a viewport from paperspace. I can still select things, but I can't see what I'm selecting because the crosshairs are gone! The viewports in the other tabs are fine, I can see my crosshairs in those. I've looked for some setting that accidentally got changed, but can't figure it out. I'm running AutoCAD 2010.

My crosshairs are not moving smoothly in my workspace. They are jumping big spaces. I typed "snap" and click "OFF" but it had not effect. I can't click on objects.. or draw from.. my mouse moves smoothly in every other application of my computer..just not in CAD workspace.

In AutoCad 2012 I have a large drawing with 30000 entities in it. Most times (althoguh not always), after saving, the crosshairs then vanish and I have to exit the drawing and open it again to get them back.
It doesn't happen in all drawing files, as far as I can tell it is just this large one.

I have recently been fighting an override of some sort that doesn't want to go away. As an example, for basic copy command, I would normally select my object to copy, type C, hit the space bar, and select my object again to copy to new location. With this override, I select my object, type C, hit the space bar, and in the command line, this appears:
Command: c COPY 1 found
Current Settings: Copy mode = Multiple
Specify base point or [Displacement/mOde] : c

when working at this workstation, the crosshair gets very 'Jumpy' and slow as it gets near or cross over a dimension line. is there possibly a setting that is on or off that is causing this. It has nothing to do with the file. It happens on any file on this computer, but if i switch to a different workstation all is well. And this is a much faster workstation than the other. The issue also happens to a much lesser extent when crossing any drawing object. The cursor (crosshairs) will pause slightly. It is a very long pause when near the dim lines though. it is almost impossible to select or snap to an object or line if it is near a dimension line.

I am working with files from an architect and when I open a file with xrefs they all have these big crosshair/boxes all over them. I can choos edit in [lace and delete the crosshairs but there are a lot of xrefs and it will take for ever. They are not on the original drawings that I can see. One with crosshairs and one without.

I have a co-worker that wants to rotate the UCS ICON and the CROSSHAIRS in model space but not the actual view on the screen. On my machine this is what it does when I use the UCS command. On their machine it rotates everything. Is there a "variable" that controls this?

I work on a mac and run parallels for autocad. My issue is while working the autocad the crosshairs drag behind my hand movement. when the pointer is moving thru menus it works fine and when i go back to the work space the crosshairs drag behind.

Moments ago my crosshairs in the model space decided to rotate. I tried to undo, but apparently the damage is done.
I came across a thread on another website about trying UCS, world & plan etc which I tried.
While this did rotate my crosshairs to be straight and normal again, it rotated all of my drawings I have numerous sections on the page and unfortunately they all became rotated.
Is there a way to rotate the crosshairs and not change my drawing?

why my crosshairs stutter after I select an object? I first noticed it after the AutoCAD release that added vertex control options to plines. Crosshairs hang for a second or two after selecting an object that has vertices. Seems like CAD is evaluating the vertices.

We have just installed ACA 2012 on one of our workstations and randomly the crosshairs will disapear in paperspace. We will still get the cursor icon if we hover over properties and paletts etc. We have the latest service pack and ribbon hotfix. Searching hasn't come up with much.

When I open ACAD A14, the workspace is displayed black (I had it set on white). When I zoom out, the screen is white again, but when I move the cursor, the crosshairs are displayed as a black square and leave a black trail, like for example Internet Explorer on the old Windows systems. I can use all functions normally, however my drawings are not properly displayed through the black. I had it running today already, without any problems, but my laptop was not connected to the internet, now it is. Things I tried: Reinstalling AutoCAD Restarting my PC Disconnecting my laptop from the internet and reopening AutoCAD A screenshot is attached. I am a first semester student and the plan is for a supporting structure of a hall that is due on friday, so its nothing that takes up a lot of computing power or anything.

I recently installed AutoCAD 2012 and have noticed that my crosshairs are moving as if a grid is turned on. I checked my settings and have turned everything off however, the crosshairs continues to move in "jerk-like" movements.
How do I change this?

On occasion when on a layout tab and making a few changes in model space and I preview while model space is still active, crosshairs disappear when I exit preview. So I then save, close and reopen, it is then back to normal.

One of my co-worker has this problem with his cursor's crosshairs. When he moves his cursor the crosshairs are like blinking or sort of flashing. It's not that big of a problem but it's just getting anoying in a short while.

When I insert a X-ref overlay, everything seems to work, but giant cross hairs with a circles appear dotted all around on the X-refed drawing, similar to spot levels (minus the hatch).
Attached an image X-ref image.jpg
How to stop this or why it seems to be scaling up the crosshairs .

I am using an ati 6950. (yes i know its not a suggested card) but it runs great other than after 20minutes to an hour worth of use it will freak out when you hover over an object and that object turns to dashed lines. The crosst hair will turn into like 50 diagonal lines and start smearing on the screen. I went in and changed to options from DASH to THICKEN on hover. This has been working for about an hour now.

I have a large drawing with 5 meter contours that are 2D polylines on elevation. In Civil 3D 2012, when the crosshairs touch a polyline the drawing hangs for quite awhile. I've cut a piece out of the drawing so it is 28mb instead of 121mb and now the hang time is much less but it still does it. It does not happen in AutoCAD 2012.

In a drawing, the directions aren't pointing at a 90-degree angle with relation to the command ribbon above it. It's rotated a little clockwise, as are the crosshairs. How do I get the crosshairs and viewcube to be parallel with the command ribbon? I don't need to rotate any objects in the drawing, but I think this is messing up what I see in my viewports in the layouts.

In ModelSpace, when I drag the crosshairs over to the right edge of the screen, the crosshairs will vanish and reappear on the left side of the screen. This is a major problem: If I am reaching for an object off to the right and overshoot with the mouse a little, the crosshairs will suddenly be way over on the left. But much worse than this, I have a toolbar oriented vertically on the right side of the screen. I literally cannot get to that toolbar because the crosshairs swap over to the left side of the screen, instead of changing over to an arrow cursor to make use of the menus.

on newer drawings ( amonth or two old) my crosshairs disappear in paper space (model space is fine)....but on older drawings (some are years old) the crosshairs works fine. neither the older or newer drawings were started by me so i can;t be sure of how they were set up, but (i think) it must have something to do with the way these newer dwgs were set up.
i was using C3D 2011 when the issu started and upgraded to C3D 2013 and i still have the issue. I've loaded the latest service pack but no change.

How to turn of the "lock symbol" from showing when you run your crosshairs (outside of a command) over a locked layer. Its annoying and i would like to turn it off.
Also, when offsetting a line, is there a way to turn off the imaginary offset line that indicates the offset side, again its annoying and i'd like to turn it off.

Why my Block command does not work anymore?
I type in the command ( I'm an old school typer, hate the buttons ) BLOCK....then the next thing that happens is (after hitting enter of course), my crosshairs instantly turn into the Windows arrow.
I wasn't playing with any switches. I was just trying to make a little block with a number in it.
Yes, I restarted AutoCAD, restarted the computer, did not reload in AutoCAD.....AutoCAD 2011 by the way.
I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
I have to do a WBLOCK to make the blocks I need to bypass this odd behavior.

I have programmatically created a block, which resembles the protective tube schematically drawn. The block consists of two ellipses of connected the two lines. This block tries to modify (also programmable). The modification consists of changing the position of the ellipse and the length of the line. Everything (almost) goes smoothly, until the pipe extends beyond its original length. The changes are visible, but I'm not able to pick the block beyond its original contour. So I can pick out such lines, if picked point is on the original length, but beyond its original length is not already. The same applies to the ellipse. The situation returned to normal, if I tried stretch the block (base point) or command _move. Regeneration of the model does not work.
I throw a piece of
using( Transaction tr = doc.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() ){//Block?Entity ent = tr.GetObject( per.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead ) as Entity;(...)BlockReference blRef = ent as BlockReference;(...)Ellipse ell1 = null;Ellipse ell2 = null;Line line1 = null;Line line2 = null;BlockTableRecord btr = tr.GetObject( blRef.BlockTableRecord, OpenMode.ForRead ) as BlockTableRecord;foreach( ObjectId entId in btr )
[Code] .........

I have a file that is behaving very oddly. Its a detail that I cannot pick some lines on in world UCS, but in Isometric views will pick ok, and to make matters worse, when I do a regen the lines in question vanish.

In selecting a point in a drawing to connect new poly lines to existing objects, is there a way to set the order to which osnap elements are used?I have perhaps 1/2 of the osnap element settings activated. End point, Mid point, Node, Intersection, etc.
When I go to select, it's like everything EXCEPT End Point is recognizing. And while I can go to right click, and select end point, I am now wondering, if besides the rt click, there is a way to preset the priority, or order in which the osnap elements recognize the type.Without resetting the settings each time.
