crosshairs

[jimbir]

I have, on my edit image, a cursor made up of a dotted circle with 4 short dotted lines coming off it at compass points N, E, S, and W. It is very hard see. Is there a way I can change it to a crosshair with solid black lines?

Thanks Jim B.

Try going into File -> Preferences -> General Program Preferences -> Display & Caching and un-check the box next to Use Precise Cursors and see if that helps.

Thanks. That's a very good start. Now, can I make it bigger? I am used to working with Autocad where the crosshairs run from border to border plus I have rotten eyesight.

Sorry, I don't know of any way from within the program to make it bigger.

If you want something like crosshairs running from border to border you can use View > Rulers and View > Guides and then drag guide lines out to help locate positions.
