Odd looking cursor

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 18:33:48 GMT

Hi All,

I've been away for a while but I still can't figure out what I did to cause my standard cursor to look like the attached PNG.

How do I get the standard back?

TIA,

Sal

PLAN command. You probably had the Shift key pressed at some time when you went to Pan with the mouse wheel, which will go into 3D viewing [the three colored cursor axes are parallel to the XYZ axes].

Thanks Kent,

Maybe it's the power if suggestion, but I seem to remember this happening right after a pan so I guess I had a heavy shift finger at the time.

Thanks again.

@austineannekeyah If Plan command isn't working make sure the item ringed in the image below is not blue(on)

It worked thank you. I just had to click enter after typing the PLAN command
