Edit array cursor/crosshair color matches background

I have AutoCAD setup so my background is nearly black and my crosshairs are white.

When I edit an array in place, the block editor makes the crosshairs/cursor the same color as the background and I can't see where my cursor is. I've changed the colors for both 2D model space and block editor to something contrasting but it doesn't seem to effect the block editor.

@jeremyGKD7Z Not seeing anything like that here, cursor is contrasting for in in ArrayEdit and REFEDIT commands.

What color choices did you opt into for everything?
Or do you just need to set GFXDX12 to zero then restart your program to ix the display issue?

I made the cursor yellow and the background almost black for 2D model space and block editor and it did nothing.

I tried the GFXDX12 to zero and it also did nothing.

Background and cursor are black in array editor. Works fine in regular block editor.

After setting GFXDX12 to zero did you close and restart AutoCAD?

@jeremyGKD7Z It might be time to reset your AutoCAD session to put it all back, aka "factory setting".

I would keep playing with different colors. Rem there is a Block Edit Color as well. Maybe that needs to change since your background is almost dark. I work all dark mode. PS and MS. Way easier on the eyes. I know what my paper looks like when printed. I don’t need to be reminded inside AutoCAD.

 

But if you need to reset, there is a reset inside the color controls.

 

Hope this helps!  Happy New Years!!!

JRR!
