My cursor is a circle. How do I get it back to normal?  I'm not sure how it got like this.  I'm not able to move rotate or scale with it like this.  I've attached a picture.  Thank you!

Hi!

Are you using a tablet? If so, it might have something to do with its settings or drivers not being up-to-date.

I remember having similar issues with long clicks in the tablet.

I'm not using a tablet.  Thank you though!  Any other ideas?

Hi Laurenmdean,

I am not sure if your issue is solved. I ran into same issue and I fixed it.

Under "Common Selection Options" in the Tool Settings, I noticed that I accidentally chose "Drag" instead "Marquee".

If you choose "Marquee", that circle will disappear and will change back to arrow as default.

Hopefully this will be helpful if someone run into same issue of Circle Cursor in the Maya Viewport.

I selected "Marquee" in those settings to get it back to the arrow mouse pointer.

I have a kind of similar issue, here are the screenshots. Whenever I try to scale, rotate, or move it becomes a circle. If anyone has answers, thank you

I don't understand? Try using ShareX or Geforce Experience screen recorder to record your problem.

Maybe press "B" key to turn off soft selection.
