V2.0.13881 Mouse Cursor section in sketch view not on cursor tip

Hello,

 

I use the personal use version of fusion 360 on a Mac M1 computer. Have never had an issue with the program and always ran fast and smooth. Im not sure if my software automatically updated but it seems I am on the newest version.

 

But now when I go into sketch view my mouse arrow is not synced up with where the selection is highlighting. So when I hover over something it will not illuminate like its being hovered over. Instead I have to position the mouse pointer above it and the "selection area" is now at the base of the pointer instead of the tip of the arrow. I will include a screen grab of this. 

 

In the screen grab you can see the middle of the sketch area is highlighted as if you put your arrow point above it. But as you can see it is the base of the arrow (and slightly right). So essentially if I want to sketch anything at all I have to select pieces with the base of the arrow and not the point of it.

 

What is weird is that everywhere else in the application it works as it should and I can select things using the tip. Even within the sketch mode- the top icons can be selected normally. Its only within the sketching area that this pointer calibration is off. 

 

*I have not done anything different in settings since I downloaded the application 1+ years ago. The only thing that has changed is the software version. Last time I used this application was less than a month ago and it worked fine (7/31/22). Time of writing this issue is 8/20/22

 

thank you Screen Shot 2022-08-20 at 2.28.47 PM.png

Take a look at this Forum post, message 8 for a solution.  Basically go to Full Screen mode once to clear the problem.  This is a known issue.

Hi, I came across the same problem yesterday but not only in sketch view. The above solution also solved the problem, however when hovering the pointer over the navigation cube, a black dot/cube appears to the bottom right of the pointer. Have included a image.

I had this problem recently on a Windows PC. It only occured in full screen mode.

 

To fix it, I went to System > Display and changed the Scale to 100%. Which is annoying because I had specifically switched the scale to 125% in order to make the ribbon icons in Fusion slightly larger.  I don't know if there's another way to make the ribbon icons larger....
